Mammilaria parkinsonii "Owl Eyes"

     From the states of Hidalgo Mexico, Mammillaria parkinsonii is one of the few Mammillarias that offset dichotomously, that is they literally split in two. Individual heads can be 6 inches tall and 3 inches around. It gets cream to pinkish white flowers.      This one was allready splitting when I got it. Hopefully it will flower for me this season. The lower picture was taken at Bachs Cactus Nursery here in Tucson. I really don't know if it's one plant or three, but hopefully mine will look like that someday.
