Mammillaria maycobensis

A wonderful specimen of Mammillaria, appreciated for its inflorescences. It catches the eye with a beautiful dark green globular stem equipped with protruding tubercles between which white hairs can be seen. At the apex of each tubercle, downy white areoles grow and spines emerge from them. It has short, whitish radial spines and darker, longer central spines. The beautiful flowers of M.maycobensis bloom at the apex of the stem in a circle, creating a crown of flowers and are yellow/purple in colour.
