Help with identifications please

[thomas]

Hello All: New to forum but a longtime lurker. I have recently picked up 3 new cacti for my collection but am not sure of the identification on them. I believe #1 is a Gymno and #2 may be a Ferocactus but not sure on #3. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

On reflection (and just found the area), I guess I should have posted this in the Cactus ID section.. Sorry.

First one looks like gymnocalycium pflanzii I think.

Second one looks like a baby Ferocactus, perhaps F. glaucescens.

iann - thanks for the repy. I thought that #2 might be a ferocactus glaucescescens of a ferocactus emoryi but wasn't sure. Thanks again for the info. Much appreciated.

And #3 looks like some Echinopsis or Acanthocalycium, something from that group.

Thanks 7george - Will check those out as I have not been able to identify #3 as of yet.
