Mammillaria durispina (Sierra Zamoran) EX Reppenhagen

Mammillaria durispina is a striking cactus native to the Sierra Zamoran region. This succulent is known for its globular to short cylindrical shape and dense covering of stiff, white to yellowish spines. The spines can be quite long and give the plant a distinctive, bristly appearance. The tubercles are arranged in a spiral pattern, each supporting several radial and central spines. In spring, this cactus produces small, funnel-shaped flowers ranging from pink to white, which contrast beautifully with the spines. It's a sought-after species among cactus enthusiasts for its unique appearance and resilient nature.
