So you want Epithelantha, Ariocaprus, Geotinia, Discocatus etc..
Was in Bologna last week, so visited Andrea at https://www.mondocactus.com (20 min by train and a 5 min walk from the city centre). A bit eye-watering!. All seed grown, from mostly his own seeds. He has written about the big Mammilaria crucigera in this month's (?) journal of the Mamm Soc, apprarently. Much much more than these few photos (and listed on his website).

Great photographs, I already had his nursery pinned on my map in case I'm anywhere nearby.
And good luck with pricking out that Epithelantha!

Great photos and plants!
Yes, I would enjoy pricking out those Epithelantha seedlings - If I had a spare week!

Mondocactus has been at the ELK in Belgium for quite some years now. Impressive plants they usually bring along. Not cheap, though.
