A Fred is a strange growth that formed on a mammillaria bocasana, someone cut the growth off, started it on its own and named
it Fred. From this plant, others were created, through cuttings or grafts to produce the Freds we have today. I got my first
Fred 30 or so years ago and fell in love with the strange mostly spineless form. Over the years I've collected a number of
them. This site is just to share some photos of my collection.
