Mammillaria Parkinsonii

I was walking all around B&B Cactus Farm in Tucson and came across this very interesting cactus. The official name of it is a Mammillaria Parkinsonii, but I prefer to call it a gray donut cactus. Heh heh! At first glance, it looks like something that belongs on a shelf of a donut or pastry shop! :)

The blue container helped contribute to the beautiful aesthetics of the cactus as well. -Steve (January 2007)
