More beautiful plants Thanks for sharing.

Yes, thanks for sharing these with us poor folk in the northern hemisphere who are just heading into our long gloomy winter with no sight of flowers on our cacti until next spring.

It's nice to see some flowers now that my plants are heading into dormancy. Thanks for sharing CP!

It's a pleasure folks, nice to be able to brighten your days in some way, as you have all done during my winter. :)

That might be what used to be known as Mammillaria matudae var serpentiformis fa duocentralis, since regular M. matudae only has one central spine.

Thanks s&b for that info I believe you are correct. The extra central makes it look quite different from my regular matudae, It is just like one I used to have under the name matudae v. serpentiformis, I just hadn't got as far as checking to see what the lumpers have done with it. I had a look on mammillarias.net, and the v. serpentiformis fa duocentralis is now synonymous with matudae, and it seems to confirm your ID. Thanks,
