Hello all!!! I was wondering if anyone could help me identify three cacti that were unlabeled at my local nursery. I am new to having cacti and I would really like to know what types these are.
This first cactus is 1 1/4" tall and about 2" in diameter.
This next one looks very unhealthy, but I am trying to bring it back to life. It's 3 1/2" tall and about 3/4" in diameter.
I am pretty sure that this last one is a Golden Barrel Cactus, but I just want to make sure. It is 4" tall and about 3" in diameter.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

The third one looks to me like Mammillaria rhodantha, but I'm not sure.

It's definitely in the Mammilla Genus. I think you're right with Rhodantha too. It's hard to tell though. Thank you very much!!!!Kamos wrote:The third one looks to me like Mammillaria rhodantha, but I'm not sure.

Thank you very much Teo!!! Out of these three I needed identified, this was the hardest for me to even guess at. This cactus has a lot of different growth patterns and it was hard to look through pictures to see what it could be.teo wrote:#2 - Cylindropuntia fulgida var. mamillata

Anyone have any clue on what the first one is?

I would guess a Parodia for #1

The first one resembles my Parodia conccina, but I'm not sure the spines at correct for this genus.

I mean, I'm not sure about the spines just because I don't know anything about spines morphology, but Teo proposed Parodia, so they must be correct and P. Conccina is a good guess
