Mammillaria baumii   An attractive clumping species with big yellow flowers

If you want more cream and green then do the opposite

These spines are short and stiff but are so numerous that the plant isn't that sharp to handle

It forms dense clumps of short thin leaves with tiny white hairs

The flowers are large for Echidnopsis but still quite small (1/4 inch long or so)

Brighamia insignis Crassulaceae Mammillaria baumii An attractive clumpingBrighamia insignis Also known as the Cabbage on a Stick this is a rare species from Hawaii (my plants are seed grown). This is a caudiciform that is either unbranched or will make a few side branches. In time it can reach several feet tall. It is a succulent but doesn't like to be as dry as a cactus. So water when the soil is starting to get dry. It may drop leaves in the winter depending on growing conditions, but will regrow in the spring. Makes
