It was given to my brother when he was born, 1973, who then gave it to my mum 10 years later, then adopted by me. According to my mum it was started from seed late 60s. It has rarely been repotted or given nutes of any kind, so not as large as it could be. Don't know what mammillaria it is I just assume it to be..
8"x7" , tatty ol' thing... white stones gotta go too.

 From my 2 year old huernia zebrina I was just able to identify last autumn because of these flowers popping up. They last about 7 days before they shrivel up and fall off.

I went outside to snap a few more shots

The odd flower at the end is actually a flower bud for my Dracula pitcher (Saracenia alata).
These aren't the best photos, but nice nonetheless.
