| The first looks like it might be a Ferocactus gracilis. Their central spine is flattened, but your cacti's central spine looks rounded to me. It could be because it's a juvenile and possibly hasn't grown in intense enough sunlight. I have a F. wislizenii that, until I recently placed it in full sun, had round central spines. The gracilis species grows to somewhere around 5 feet tall and 1 foot in diameter. The second is definitely a Mammillaria. It could be a Mammillaria formosa. If it is, your specimen looks like it is closely reaching it's maximum size. I'm not completely sure, but from what I see, they could be those species. I love seeing new pics of Ferocacti! Thanks! |
