Blondie mammillaria

[ewkaw]

I believe this is Mammillaria backebergiana, but a blondie version.
I have another one that look just like this, but the spines are all very dark coppery brown. Flowers look the same. They will look so nice when they get bigger and stand next to each other.

There is also version with white flowers. I'd like that too.
Those are such common cacti and available in supermarkets, that cacti collectors often don't pay attention to them much. Nothing fancy, flowers are small... but come on. They are cute :) And cheap!

And this is the copper sister.

Every time I see one of your cactus or succulents in bloom it makes me want to start a collection. They are adorable!!!!!

After you get a few you wont be able to stop.
They are small, easy to care for and just so cute :D

That is one reason I have not started as I tend to overdo when I really like something. I may do one large dish container and see how it goes. lol
