5 is most likely a Weingartia, maybe one of the many W. neocumingii forms.

3. seelings, let em grow.
4.Coryphantha, flowers might help narrow it down.

#5 is most likely a Parodia/Notocactus.
Catch a falling star--but don't try it with a cactus!

not sure 5 is a Turbinicarpus, only one similiar to it I know is T saueri.
Does the Cory? have grooves running along the tubercle (more accurately, one groove from tip to base of tubercle). It looks pretty big, should have one if a Cory?

I second the O. phaeacantha for #2. At least it looks like one; without locality data and chromosome count, it is difficult to be sure.

Carlo,
Why do you put the names after the pics? Should we start at the bottom and read up?
