Mammillaria papasquiarensis

Mammillaria papasquiarensis is a globose cactus very loved by collectors. It’s similar to the Grusonian Mammillaria, from which it distinguishes thanks to its thorns that may change colour depending on the age of the plant, in fact, the youngest exemplars have a brown colour, whilst in the more mature ones, these ones become silvery. Its dark green stem is formed by multiple triangular tubercles from which come out the thorns always longer when approaching the apex of the plant. During the flowering period, M. papasquiarensis gives beautiful bell-shaped flowers with delicate colors ranging from opaque white to pink, with clearly visible veins of darker shades.
