Description
Just some nice little cactus I noticed and liked on my travels. I'm not sure what particular type they are. Please zoom to see the detail in them. Shot in natural light.
Thanks Andrea for identifying the plant for me.

Mammilaria...from the breastlike shapes I suppose.
Wonderful! I like these guys!
Mammilaria, lol. Perhaps from the fact that you're going to get hurt if you grab one! Nice shot they do look nice.
you learn something every day. As well as the shape, the colour is terrific. A great shot Andrew

Beautiful light, POV and capture
I used to have one of this on my desk at my first job. They are funny and easy to care.
A great shot and zoom. The Mammillaria genus is one of the largest in the cactus family with about 170 known species Commonly known as pincushion or nipple cactus. The largest ones are called barrel cactus in the US.
