Let's see if there is any other comment to this month's POTM!
It's good to see Mammillaria mazatlanensis as POTM, I find it an attractive species.
My own plant at times may produce either straight or hooked centrals.
It recently spent a few years over-wintering in a cold frame, which it survived but didn't seem to enjoy.
I'm treating it better this winter and hoping to persuade it to grow and flowering with more enthusiasm this year.
I don't have any other Cochemia species, but is seems straightforward to grow, so a good starting point for the (sub)genus.

Is GOTM not going any more?
You can take the boy out of the greenhouse, but you can't take the greenhouse out of the boy!

Yes - in the sense that the Society has one every month on https://bcss.org.uk/ it'll be in one of the 'featured' tiles. However, I haven't, and nobody else has, started threads in this section each month. There's nothing to stop anybody doing so if they've anything to say about a genus. I can't say much about this month's topic, Marlothistella, though!

Ah I didn't realise it was tied to the main site. I'm not a member so I just use the forum
