The second one looks like Echinopsis subdenudata

The bottom looks like Gymnocalycium horstii

Not sure on the other two -it makes me kind of woozy to look at them. :-&

I agree with Daiv's i.d.s. I think the last picture looks vaguely like a notocatus I have but we definitely need some new pics. Give it another shot logosdad.

Looks like the pictures are in a different order now. Second is now the third and the bottom is now the second to last.

According to the present order, I would say but not for sure :
1. Gymnocalycium mihanovichii
2. parodia turecekiana (also called notocactus turecekianus or notocactus mammulosus turecekianus)
3. echinopsis subdenudata
4. gymnocalycium horstii
5. mammillaria rekoi leptacantha

Yes, it could well be Gymnocalycium buenekeri, you will have to wait to see what the flower colour is like. See the link below for Cactus of the Month.
