Last year in summer I sowed few types of cacti.
Among them I had those irresistibly fluffy ones.
Mammillaria Bocasana
I don't even know how many of them sprouted. Way over a hundred! But as they grew, some died, which is ok. They grew and grew and now they look like a hairy pillow with traitorous hooks! They are not harmful yet. But they will be. Catching everything that touches them. Pure joy :p
As for now the body of one little baby is maybe 3-5 mm in diameter. The hair and the hooks are few times that. Soon I will have to transplant them again. The first time I did it they were almost naked, it was not a problem, except that they were even smaller. Now that they are so fluffy and armed I will have to get tweezers to hold them.
Please google the name, it might take a while until I see some flowers. If I am lucky - maybe next year.

Aaahhh! So many! So cute! You will have your hands full with those. Are you opening a nursery?
Oh no... I wish...
I don't have the room for nursery. I will give away/sell most when they grow up.
If you are selling, it is a mini nursery ;)
It is a one time thing though.
(I have more of the little ones though from different type :p)
There's always a reason to sow seeds ;)
Yeaaa... I am afraid I will sow more when I get the seeds I want :p
It's stronger than me.
