| For the second one, I vote for Notocactus uebelmannianus. Here's a photo of mine to compare. Amy

| The first does resemble a Coryphantha, but I think it is Mammillaria magnimamma. |
|
| I agree S_B.. #1 does resemble a Cory, but I have never seen a Cory at any Lowes, while M. magnimamma is quite common there. #2, without question in my mind is N. uebelmanniaus.. Bill in SC |
|
| I agree with the Mam and Noto IDs. Parodia werneri is the name assigned by those who consider Notos to be Parodias (the 'lumped' name, if you will). |
|
| hmmmm how about mammillaria krameri? i did a search of m Mammillaria magnimamma and saw a pic of krameri i tinhk looks a bit more like this one guess if it blooms that will help . I once had a cacti similar to this one and i havent seen it since it was an odd blue green color had shorter spines and the tubercles were more compact wish i could find even just a picture of it so someone could name it and i could buy one again LoL thanks for the help. Found some pics of the Parodia werneri/Notocactus uebelmanniaus as well can't wait for it to bloom now thanks again |

| I am also patiently waiting for my 4 N. uebelmanniaus to bloom. They did not bloom this year, perhaps because they were transplanted. Hoping for next year! The photos of the blooms I have seen are spectacular!! :-) Bill in SC |

| Mammillaria krameri is not a valid name. It isn't even clear exactly what it is, possibly a cultivated form and possibly a hybrid. It is generally considered to be related to Mamillaria centricirrha, which is now generally lumped into M. magnimamma. Probably best to avoid this name unless you bought it labelled as krameri. |
