A few plants needing ID's Please~~

14 years ago

This first one my son talked his grandma out of, and it's grown well! He was wondering if anyone knew it's name.

He's pretty proud of it..:)

And these little guys came in a box of cuttings. They haven't grown much and are about an inch tall.

Thanks for looking and any help.. :)

The 2nd is Mammillaria gracilis (or some call Mammillaria vetula ssp gracilis, I believe.

The second one looks like Mammillaria gracilis, a very small, and slow growing species.

To answer your question about the Virginia creeper.....the sap contains calcium oxalate crystals which can cause reactions in sensitive people. It's advised, at the very least, that one should avoid touching their eyes and face after handling the vine. The berries are poisonous to humans, but birds and other animals use it as a food source.

And thank you!

He's been caring for that dish of plants about 5 years now.

I've already had to thin it out once. LOL!

Rosemarie and Brad both posted the answer at the same time.
That's what's called a "crosspost" in the business... ;)

Hi Everyone!
Thanks for the help with the little ones. They will be a really pretty plant if they ever grow, LOL

Josh,
Thank you for explaining that. And I am just as surprised as Bri.. I can't belive the same exact time. LOL!

Bri,
I think the first one is a Mammilliaria.. But don't know where to begin looking to narrow it down.

Does anyone know a good ref. site for these?

Thanks,
JoJo

Yes, I WAS, Brad...at exactly that time! :P

I thought about guessing the Mammillaria species, but my correct percentages haven't been so well lately.
