Hi folks, I thought it might help to see the pics right on this page. I've shrunk them to fit better on the screen, but you can see the original photo by clicking on an image below. A new window will open to display the larger format. Love the photo of the butterfly! #1: #2: #3: #4: Monarch butterfly...beautiful photo!

Yes, #2 and #3 are Mammillarias, I'm not positive which. #4 is Echinocactus grusonii, very much a baby still. #5, Pachypodium? Someone will know this for sure. #6 is a Stenocactus, very hard to tell the different species apart. #7 is Frithia pulchra. #8 is Mammillaria carmenae.

is ther different varieties of this cactus? I searched for this cactus and it is a positive, thank you very much I have many cacti and will be posting more of ones i'm not sure of their names.

I see the resemblance now. You wouldn't happen to have any clues at to what that great big tall one is, would you? It's my only cactus that remains unnamed. It looks like a really big cutting off of an even bigger old cactus. It looks similar to Trichocereus peruvianus, but those cuttings are very expensive, and I only paid $15. Perhaps, though, the place I bought it from was unaware of what it was. Either way, I think it's definitely a Trichocereus.
