The first "help" for identification

Hi! Here, two of my Mammillaria,...could you help me to identify them?
The others...I'll show you when I'll learn to host more than one pic.
Many thanks in advance!

Luciano,
Your photo is too small to see properly. Looking at what you put into your message, it seems that half of what should have been copied is missing. Can you try again, and if still having problems, pm me, and I'll help you through the process.

Ok, thank you, I'll try again..., some problems in hosting pics..

Sorry, there is something wrong I do during the hosting procedure.
Excuse me.

You are uploading your picture successfully. You should then see a pop-up window with three lines. You need to copy the text in the middle one into your message.

I have edited what you did put in, as you can see. In your first message, click on Edit and you will see the text inserted. All I did was to remove some of the stuff at the front and at the end.

The three plants to the centre and left look like M. spinosissima to me, but I can't see the old one with the withered base very well.

Ok, thank you Chris, as for the technical help as for the identification; I'll try to take another picture of the older plant on the right.

What can I do when the window of serving.com starts spamming? It makes impossible pics hosting.
I'll try later..
Thanks again.

Luciano, not sure what you mean - I've never had spam from servimg. Can you pm me with more information?

Hi, Chris! Sure, I'll try to better explain in a pm.
Here the same Mammillaria of the previous pic but in a better pose and blooming. I hope this can help the identification.

I think it is a Mammillaria magnimamma. If it were mine, I would cut off the green head, let it dry for a week or so, and then try to re-root in dry compost. Then it will look like it really should. It has obviously been allowed to grow in poor light, so it has elongated, and the lower part has dried up. It'll live as it is, as enough goodness is getting to the top, it just won't look "nice".

Great suggestion, Chris..!
I'll try!
may I carry on with other Mammillaria?
Thanks!

#1 is not a Mamm, it is an Epithelantha micromeris.
#2 is M. spinosissima, I think.
#2 is another form of M. magnimamma, I believe.

Oh, so I discovered another genus!
Thank you!
