These are multi-headed Mammillaria humboldtii. I just happened to find the perfect angle to capture them together with the sunset. The soft golden light gently falling on them is absolutely mesmerizing.

They all grew from tiny little offsets and are now over 8 years old. I guess that's the beauty of growing plants—nurturing them from tiny step by step. There are failures along the way, and not many make it to full maturity. But when they finally do, the sense of fulfillment is just unmatched.

It's almost 17cm now. It's not grown from seed, but from offsets. Watching it gives me a great sense of satisfaction.
