We have Opuntia growing all over the place, though.

This genus does not do well for me. The only species that have germinated and grown well are the ones with horrible hooked spines that stick to anything that touches them (angelensis and bocasana). Those are thriving. Practically every other cactus genus grows like a weed in my conditions, so I don't know what it is with Mammillaria.

I'm glad you like my custom cactus pot!

I also think mammillarias are a great genus of cacti and there are so many different species you can have a wonderful collection of just mammillarias. I generally use clay pots for my plants but your pot for this mamm is lovely and quite appropriate in its colors and form. Hope your new year is starting off well and the coming Spring even better.
