The second one is Mammillaria nivosa.

Are you sure that the first is a Mammillaria? The flowers look quite apical to me which would suggest an Escobaria, though the red three lobed stigma is unusual, pink yes but this looks a deeper red. Hmmm....

The top pic looks like a Thelocactus to me. It's very nice.

I agree its a nice plant. I did wonder about Thelocactus as well, but thought the flower was too small, and the species that would match - T. argenteus doesn't have red stamens or such a dark central.
More hmmmm.....

Thanks friend for your help. I have reviewed species of Thelo but I can not find one that looks like Crying or Very sad

Chris, thank you very much for your help. And I thought it would be easy to name it Shocked

I found on the web this picture of M. gracilis cv. 'Antje'. Maybe that's what they think?

I think you could be right. I wasn't aware of such a cultivar, but it could well be the one.

Thanks Chris.
I am very sorry that it is not a pure species, but it is still a beautiful plant.
