Re: Sunburned P. gaumeri ?

Euphorbia, not a cactus. I don't know much about Euphorbia, so I leave the rest to those who do.

Re: Identification of a few small cacti

For the opuntia, do you think it would be possible for me to take cuttings to replant, or use some of the pups it's dropped? Yes, but it will probably take a long time before it has grown into a plant worth looking at, and it is easy to find another mature plant. But it could be interesting as an e...

Re: Identification of a few small cacti

The first is probably a severely etioliated Opuntia microdasys. I would not try to save that one.
The last is Mammillaria vetula ssp. gracilis.
The rest are different Mammillaria species, except no. 3, which I don't recognize. Cylindropuntia?

Especially if it is (as I suspect) a mass-produced plant. R. marsoneri is not uncommon in flower shops.

The dried up flower looks yellow to me, and violaciflora has pink flowers (more red in the form knuthiana).

Re: what kind of echinopsis? (with flowers)

I think it is a hybrid called 'Blaze'. Identifying clones from pictures alone is difficult (there could be other hybrids that look like this and that I am not aware of), I suggest you put a question mark after the name if you decide to call it 'Blaze'. Important if you pass it on to someone else.

Re: A few cacti to ID please

The big one is Austrocylindropuntia subulata.
The very spikey one is a Parodia (Notocactus) of some sort.
Photo 4 and 5: probably etioliated Echinopsis chamaecereus (most likely hybrids).
