The last one could be M. gracilis Arizona Snowcap - a monstrose from with white clustered spines.
maybe

I would guess the same for the last Mamm.

Great looking plants! That G. damsii is very cool looking!

thank you guys! I've changed the name already!

@daiv, it has hasn't it! coming here and having a lot of room in a commercial greenhouse has helped a lot!
especially the coming here though! I learn something almost every day!

More beauties! Are the M. crucigera as hard to get in Europe as they are in the US?

The hahniana is either cresting or doing a dichotomous split. Looks more like a dichotomous split from the picture, though. Either way; bonus!

Very nice plants indeed. Were they started from seed ?

@tim, well I don't really know, I bought it at a meeting from someone selling his late father's collection, took me no trouble at all ;)

I'm very curious about that possible split, do you have any clue on how long that might take?

@charl, no, I've only started growing from seed last year, these were almost all bought or given.
seedgrown plants are on their way though...
