How large is it? I don't want to be rude but in the picture it looks
just like M elongata (which is a much less prestigious cactus).

Those little white blossoms seem so helpless and beautiful.

You're probably right, I changed the name already in all my files. I had found the name in a book along with a picture that quite matched my cactus. And 'microhelia' was quoted as a typical beginners' cactus. So I thought it might be that. Thanks for the hint.
I love all your weeds and everyone else's pictures. Posting can be very tricky sometimes here, so I strictly reduced my comments and replies to avoid annoying rewriting of crooked letters and numbers or re-log-ins even if I wasn't logged out.

I'm not an expert and there are an awful lot of Mamillarias. These two
species could be closely related. Anyway it's a healthy cactus and a
good picture of it.
