Re: July 2012 - Genus of the Month - Mammillaria
This has been a bit slower off the mark this month, so to try to get a bit of chat going - a few pics of my favourite species, (assuming you consider it a Mamm proper!)
At one point this year I had six plants of this species in flower, all with very slightly different flowers.
First a plant of the 'normal' flowered form I grew from BCSS seed sometime in the late ninties I think. M.senilis

and finally a plant I eventually acquired labelled 'striped flowerd form'...
I have flowered this two years now and have found it VERY difficult to show up in a picture!
