aureilanata is a beautiful species. I had one years ago but I lost it. I must find another one!

Jaa, it is a lovely species. Some have complete white or yellow wool, mine is kind a mix..
For this year the plant sale is closed, but mesagarden had most of the time aureilanata's on their list and they do ship to Australia. http://mesagarden.com/cacplant.html just check next spring

Thanks MM

Hi Jonathan,

A remark about the first plant of your previous message (May 17, M. antesbergeriana Lau 1163): I have my doubts about its ID, I don't think that M. antesbergeriana produces pinkish flowers.

Wolter.

Hola Wolter,

Thanks for the attention, I compared the plant with those in the forum https://mammillaria.forumotion.net/t1006-mammillaria-antesbergeriana. The flowers are lighter with pink midstripes, also the spination does not fit. The plant comes from an Italian Ebay seller, unfortunately I have no description of M. antesbergeriana to compare before I bought the plant.
