I am not a professional nor an expert in Cactacea or Mammillaria taxonomy. Any help with ID and spelling are always welcome. To up-date my list I've been using many books, journals, catalogs and other web-sites. It's been helpful, but I have more work to do. We only ship to the main 48 States. We are offering 72+ hour heat packs for $4.00 each. Please read the front page for ordering information. Please list the name, size (sm-small, m-medium, lg-large, xlg- extra large.) and price of the plant.

Note: Photos were taking late October, 2023.
