Mammillaria theresae is ’n betowerende en skaars miniatuurkaktus wat bekend is vir sy kompakte, geometriese vorm en treffende blomme. Inheems aan die bergagtige streke van noordelike Mexico, staan hierdie spesie uit met sy noukeurig gerangskikte knoppies (of “tuberkels,” as jy slim wil klink), wat ’n lekker simmetrie skep. Elke knoppie is versier met klein, wit stralekrans-dorinkies wat die kaktus beskerm – maar gelukkig nie sy skoonheid wegsteek nie. In die lente en somer bars Mammillaria theresae oop met magenta tot helder pienk blomme wat die plant se kruin omsirkel, wat ’n dramatiese kontras teen die groen lyfie skep. Sy stadig-groeiende aard en fyn grootte maak dit ’n kosbare toevoeging vir versamelaars – en ’n mooi bewys van hoe slim die natuur kan ontwerp, al is dit in ‘n klein, dorstige pakket!
