Please help ID my new purchases

Just picked up 5 little cacti from my local nursery - no labels of any kind. I spent 2 hours last night looking at google images trying to ID, but don't feel confident about any of them.
Maybe 2 Mammillaria? I was thinking, but not very convinced that the left one might be Mammillaria lindsayi, maybe the right one marcosii?

Anyone try the new foam fertilizer yet?

I've always used liquid Miracle Gro cactus and succulent fertilizer. I just went out to buy another bottle and discovered, after stopping at several stores, that Miracle Gro doesn't make that any more, and now they are pushing a spray foam that you spray on the soil, then water. I'm hesitant to use ...

Re: Hooked spines. Yellow flower. Mammillaria?

Thanks for the quick answer! That looks exactly correct.

I had googled "Mammillaria hooked spines yellow flowers" and looked at lots of images, but it showed me no M. duwei.

Re: Huernia hybrid - pale solid yellow flowers

What makes you think it is a hybrid? It reminds me quite a bit of H. thuretii var. primulina. Yes, it certainly does. Thank you! It wasn't so much that I had a good reason to think it was a hybrid. It was more that I spent 2 hours looking though thousands of images I got for googling "Huernia ...

Re: Can anyone identify this cute little plant

Thanks! Yes, hopefully someone will know. I spent several evenings Googling trying to figure it out and didn't even have a good guess.

Are these Browningia hertlingiana?

I saw these in the local nursery. I really like them but want to see if I can find a smaller one. They were not labeled though.

I'm guessing Browningia hertlingiana, but am not really sure. Can anyone confirm, or give correct ID?

Where to get twin-walled polycarb panels in New England

I'm building a non-winter greenhouse (I gave up on meeting code for ridiculous New Hampshire snow loads). I need maybe 8 48x96-ish TW clear Polycarbonate panels. I found lots of places on the web, but generally the packing and shipping cost exceeds the cost of the panels. Does anybody know somewhere...
