Mammillaria zeilmanniana, commonly known as the Rose Pincushion Cactus, is a charming and highly ornamental species native to the rocky slopes of Guanajuato, Mexico. This clustering cactus forms glossy green stems that grow up to 12 cm tall and 8 cm across, each covered in spiralling tubercles bearing clusters of silky white radial spines and 3–4 reddish central spines, with the lowest spine often distinctly hooked.

What sets this species apart is its dazzling display of flowers. In spring and summer, it produces rings of vivid carmine-violet to purple-pink blooms around the crown, creating a striking “floral halo.” White-flowering forms are occasionally seen but are much rarer. After pollination, elongated red fruits appear, containing glossy black seeds. With its long flowering season and colourful crown, this cactus is one of the most popular Mammillaria in cultivation worldwide.

Cultivating Mammillaria zeilmanniana is straightforward, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and collectors. It thrives in bright light and full sun but benefits from light shade during Australia’s hottest afternoons. A gritty, free-draining soil mix is essential, as this species is prone to root rot if left in damp conditions. Watering should be moderate during the growing months and kept to a minimum over winter, when a cool, dry rest encourages heavy blooming the following season. A light feed with a low-nitrogen fertiliser in spring and summer promotes growth and flowering.

Despite its popularity, this cactus is critically endangered in the wild due to illegal collection and its limited natural range. By growing Mammillaria zeilmanniana in cultivation, gardeners not only enjoy its beauty but also help reduce pressure on wild populations. Compact, colourful, and resilient, it remains a treasured highlight in rockeries, pots, and indoor sunny windowsills alike.

Hands free toy!!!
This is one of my dogs absolute favorite toys. I have a German shepherd husky mix that is notorious for destroying his toys. This one has stood the test !!! Have had it for about a month and we have played rough with it. The battery lasts forever. It’s such an easy toy too. Stuck under the couch?? It’ll eventually bounce its way out. Dog nudging and you need some space, pop this this on and it’s like a magic trick lol. My dog gets so excited when I pick it up because he knows I’ll turn it on. Sometimes, he will bounce it hoping it will turn on lol. Stronglyyyyyyy recommend.

Might be good for some playful dogs
My dog likes to play fetch with a rubber ball and figured I would give this one a tray as it moves on its own. It is a little on the larger size, so this is likely going to be for a large dog. My dog is about 30 pounds and it was too large of a ball for his mouth. You can open up the ball and set it to bounce on its own by hitting a switch. It will bounce all around and is very quiet. However, my dog is a little nervous and he freaked out at it moving. I ended up giving it to a friend and she said her dog loves chasing around her house and outside. It is a great idea and good for some dogs, but not if your dog is a little skittish.

Fun dog toy!
First, I was impressedby the quality of this ball. It seems quite well made. The adult twists it open, it's tight enough I know my dog cannot open it. Note - there are warnings it is dangerous for a dog to get to the inside. That noted, I would always supervise. There are two choices of modes, one more intense. Hold to activate your choice and tightly put back together. It worked right away, vibrating and shaking. The humans greatly enjoyed, especially a child. My dog, a bit fearful but curious. So we will slowly introduce to her. The is a USB cord included for charging, which is nice. Overall a fun item!

Fun
Great product and works as advertised. My dog is small and was not that interested in it, but my black Labrador was all about it. Simple to use and easy to charge. It’s durable and has lasted against my lab so far.
