The delicate pink flowers of the cactus plant - Mammillaria bombycina commonly known as the silken pincushion cactus.
Mammillaria bombycina is one of the most popular and beautiful species that will produce clumps, as a washing up bowl. It combines clean, glassy white radial spines with hooked reddish-brown centrals. The spines are quite sticking. This plant will produce several complete circles of contrasting light carmine flowers every year.
