Hello. I am fairly new to cacti and new to the forum. I have been growing from seed for a couple of years now. I have used the mixed seeds bought at a local retailer. I need help in identifying what I have.
Possible Cylindropuntia

In second image (to the right w. yellow spines): probably Echinocactus grusonii

Re: new to Cacti
Second and third pictures looks like they have a ferrocactus maybe.
There are more cacti in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

Re: new to Cacti
thank you teo and elieestephane.
the seed mix says it contains several different barrel, hedgehog, prickly pear, cholla, cardon and saguaro. I guess the problem with common names is that the same name can refer to several different species such as I found several that are called fishhook barrel. my eye is not trained well enough yet to sort it all out.

Don't blame your untrained eye. More often than not, it's harder to identify seedlings when they are that young. Many look very similar

Re: new to Cacti
I agree with elieestephane. The bigger one in the third image looks like "F. peninsulae" (hooked spines), no liability assumed.
Just wait some years and you'll see!
