Mammillaria elegans

21 years ago

I only have a small collection of cacti and succulents but most of them I purchased from Abbey Brook nursery in Derbyshire about 30 years ago. This Mammillaria flowers regularly and as you see has grown to a reasonable size.I can't help wondering just how large they do grow. Peter

Is it really M. elegans (now M. haageana ssp elegans), which rarely clusters? There is a variant that used be called M. elegans var schmolli and is now known as M. haageana ssp schmollii which clusters like this.

If it is one of the M. haageana subspecies then the main heads are as big as they get. The whole cluster will keep spreading nearly indefinitely.
