Hi Matthew,

Don't know the species off the top of my head, but as far genus goes first thoughts are Rebutia, Gymnocalycium, probably Thelocactus and two Echinopsis, but which ones I hear you cry. The Echinopsis and the Rebutia could well be hybrids but they are all beautiful plants. I'll start the ball rolling anyway.

Rebutia kupperiana

Gymnocalycium?

I thought for the third Thelocactus tulensis, but now I am not sure. It does not normally have barbed spines.

The Echinopsis with the 'mauve' flower (OK Dominique, I'm a man, I don't know these things) probably a hybrid, maybe a Paramount one.

The white flowered one I will go for Echinopsis eyriesii.

The first one is not kupperiana. My guess is Rebutia marsoneri, probably the variant krainziana.

My krainziana looks like this:

Number three must be Thelocactus setispinus (Hamatocactus setispinus: http://www.teesside.bcss.org.uk/BCSS/GA ... ct_028.htm )

Definitely Echinopsis eyriesii for the last one.
