1 looks like Mamm magnimamma of some form, very variable, very many synonyms

I have 2 and 3, from Altman's/Home depot. ID here or on altman's site as Echinopsis thelagonus cristata and Echinopsis oxygona cristata.

Thanks Mike!
You are so right, very variable indeed :shock:

I got 2 at Home Depot, and thelogonus does seem to fit.

3 i got at another nursery, does it also seem to fit Echinopsis huascha cristata ??

Hi Darryl,
I agree with Mike, #3 is E.oxygona.
Looks like one I got with that label anyway :lol:

G'day Darryl.
My first impression for #1 was M. magnimamma, but those axillary hairs say M. mystax I think, though I would have expected more radials.
#4 Mammillaria rhodantha
#5 Mammillaria microhelia
