Are they wild? So nice to have those animals roam freely close to your home (even if they sometimes wreck cultures and gardens...)

It's interesting you have a second, smaller flush of Sulcorebutia flowers in late summer. Is it normal for you? I have the odd flower or two outside of the April-May season but that's all.

Yes it is normal Jose.
BUT, only 20 to 30 plants are flowering - of 700 to 800.
So it is not a regular behavior.

Wonderful as usual, K.W. May I bother you to tell me what species is that curious white flowered Mammillaria 148884?

And a late Happy Birthday to you! I was nowhere near a computer yesterday, sorry for that.

The plant looks to me like a M. perbella, but the flowers are the wrong colour. Very beautiful either way.

Good evening,

this plant I received from kakteen Katze ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLWvZXZDO8Q ).
On the label it is named as Mammillaria erytha REP.879.
And You are right, as far as I know, now it is Mammillaria mystax. . .


Best wishes
