Hi Rod,
I just replied to your posting about adding photos. It is clear to me from the above that you haven't copied all of the link. I hope my reply makes sense!

My first thought on your plant is that it probably is either M. rekoi or M. nunezii. There are a lot of variants of each of these species, and I find separating them quite difficult. The lower radial spine count would suggest nunezii rather than rekoi, though the spine colour would suggest rekoi. However both of these species can have a hooked central spine as well as all straight, it's a variable character.

Hmm...difficult...I hope some others will join in and help! I am puzzled....

is possible to know where have you find this plant?




this is the picture of your plant...




and this is my suggestion...
mammillaria solisii REP 1667
referred to m.nunezii

Thanks Chris and Maurillio. Mine certainly appears to be almost identical to the photo of M solisii (nunezii) that you have posted. I bought mine on eBay this week from a UK source (also bought a Stenocactus phyllacanthgus which is in bud).
