Mammillaria karwinskiana
I've had this plant for about three years now - sourced from MesaGarden. It's one of the few that adapted quickly and started growing and blooming. Other plants that I got in the same batch are still struggling to just get established.
I think that Mammillaria karwinskiana and subspecies do well in this climate, as I have a few types and they all bloom reliably even though the small yellow flowers aren't very eye-catching or spectacular. I have to appreciate them for what they are.
The spines on the plant were outstanding when I got it, but it seems to have grown into them. I'm now expecting to see it begin to divide dichotomously soon.

Hi. I don't know if my previous comment got through or not...but I had said that I have really grown to love very pale and white blooms the older I've gotten! They just look so delicate and sweet to me!

Mamm. karwinskiana is a really nice species; I have the subspecies nejapensis, which divided trichotomously!
