Poor, confused mammillarias

It is almost December. Cacti should go to sleep by now, but they don't, because it is a bit too warm for them. And so today, when I was sipping my morning coffee, I spotted something pink on one of my mammillarias.

WTH?

Its a flower!
In almost December!





I never managed to find it's name, so I call it The one with dark tips.I have it for a few years already, and it is growing slowly but nicely. It looks like this is the round type instead of growing up. Beautiful white cactus!

And just look at those dark tips :)
Even if it doesn't bloom, it is one of my fav mammillarias (and I do realize I say that about most cacti, but this one really is one of my fav!).





Another bud popping. And I think there are a few more hiding in the fluff.
Ideally, it would grow flowers all around and open them all at once, creating a nice wreath. But she is not supposed to bloom now.. so that's ok.





Here she is. It is growing in a 6 cm pot right now and will stay there for at least another year.






But that's not all. Oh no.
Here is another lost soul. This is one of a newer cacti I got this year and was bragging about in this post.

The pot I got had 5 of them, and this is the biggest of them all. The remaining 4 show no sign of flowers.





I was hoping to see pink flowers as they would look a lot nicer against the white spines. Maybe the other 4 will surprise me (if they don't die by then).





Mammillaria plumosa is her name and I am still amazed by the spies. So beautiful, soft, and bouncy. Seriously :D

Both confused ladies:





And as a bonus, a brand new roomie. My local Lidl really surprises me sometimes with pearls like that.

I bought it about a month ago, repoted it, and slowly got it used to the balcony climate. It is ok for now, and I hope to see flowers in spiring. Then I will write more about it.
But just have a look.

Ladies and gents, this is Tephrocactus articulatus papyracanthus





So f*** awesome! <3
