I have both of these as Powder Puffs, Mammillaria Bocasana. Do I have it right? One difference is the one on the left spent the summer outside and the other has been strictly indoors under a grow light. Thanks!

Yes, those are both Powder puff cactus (Mammillaria bocasana). The one on the left is just a bit less endowed with fuzzy. The left one seems to be retaining more water which makes sense if she’s been outside and getting watered more frequently because of rain.
