I got these from a local grower (he also ships cacti out) named Miles Anderson. I came in with a list a couple of time and he I.D.ed them but told me a few were categorized under a different genus now
1)Ariocarpus fissuratus ssp fissuratus 2)Astrophytum Asterias 3)Astrophytum capricorne v. niveum 4)Astrophytum myriostigma 5)Aztikium ritteri 6)Ariocarpus agavoides 7)Coryphantha elephantidens 8)Coryphantha macromeris 9)Coryphantha macromeris spp runyonii 10)Dolichothele longimamma 11)Dolichothele zephyranthoides 12)Echinocereus salm-dychianus 13)Echinocreus triglochidiatus 14)Epithalantha micromeris 15)Leuchtenbergia principis 16)Mamillopsis Senilis 17)Matucana madisoniorum 18)Strombocactus disciformis 19)Solisia pectinata 20)Obriegonia denegrii 21)Turbinicarpus pseudomacrochele 22)Turbinicarpus pseudopectinatus

agreed i always like going out there he knows a lot and has no problem answering questions he's almost solely responsible for my cacti collection i have a lot of trichocereus that i got elsewhere but the variety comes from him those field collected fissuratus's are my favorite
you sure didn't start with the easiest cacti! they look nice and healthy though
With apologies to the late Professor C. D. Darlington the following misquotation springs to
mind ‘cactus taxonomy is the pursuit of the impossible by the incompetent’ - Fearn & Pearcy, Rebutia (1981)

That's exactly what happened (sometime in 2012 I believe), and thousands of image files attached through the forum interface disappeared because they weren't backed up.
If you just want photos without all the blather, please visit my Flickr gallery.
