Second one I think is Notocactus scopa - I'm not an expert in the IDs, having had a fair bit of help ID-ing my collection from the wonderful folks on here, but I have one of these sat on a shelf next to me and it looks the same so figured I'd suggest it and see if I'm right!

Is the last one Mammillaria carnea?
And as the walls come down and as I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade recalling all of the times
I have died and will die.
It's all right.
I dont mind
I dont mind.

Your second one may be Notocactus schlosseri or something similar:-

http://www.cactuspedia.info/schede/NOTO ... _HU491.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It's not scopa, though that has many forms:-

The first one looks like an echinopsis to me. (Not sure at all.)

1 - 'common' Echinopsis
2 - Noto schlosserii
3 - I'd say R.fiebrigii or Sulco glomeriseta. Rebutia is a pretty common plant, Sulco is not that much. Very easy to tell once you see flowers which one it is
4 - some Parodia I think. There are a few that hard to tell apart unless they are really old and in flower.
5 is probably karwinskiana.

The yellow flower suggests that it is not Rebutia albiflora.

The first one doesn't look like Echinopsis mammillosa to me - that species has tubercles in between the areoles, also tends to have more ribs than yours. My first guess would be E. oxygona, but that's just a guess - many of them look very similar.
