Beautiful!!

Not sure on names, but to post more than one pic at a time they need to be uploaded to a hosting site. Many of us here use photobucket, it's free. after you load them to there, just copy and paste the html code here in your post. It will be a code, but when you look at the preview your pictures will show , if not you didn't do it right. You can post as many as you wish in one post that way.

Last picture, far right: Gymnocalycium mihanovichii friedrichii 'Plaid Cactus'

Planto

The little white ones with the pink seed pods is Epithelantha micromeris. A favorite of mine.

So that's a seed pod? I should try to collect a few...

In the 2nd pic: Senecio crassissimus.
Last pic, on left: Graptopetalum bellum.
Pink fruits on the Epithelantha.

Ok, still not sure on this one. Looks a little like something I remember as a "Rat Tail", but that's not it. Dog Tail maybe? Echinocereus pentalophus ?

Echinocereus pentalophus on your last one. Your yellow flowered unknown might be lobivia arachnacantha. No tags at this nursery? Nice haul though!

Very nice haul there! Woohooooo. They are a nice size too. Where did you shop, pray tell?

Very few tags at the nursery. My fault for not asking. It's a wholesaler who does some retail as well. Think 5 full greenhouses of cacti & succulents... Desert to Tropics. It's in Del Valle, TX, SE of the Austin airport. If you're in the area, I'd also suggest East Austin Succulents.

The middle cactus with the orange flowers looks very much like an unidentified gymnocalycium I picked up over the winter. LOVE the orange flowers.

I'm pretty sure it has a hairy flower stalk, so it can't be gymnocalycium. From what I've seen on the web, lobivia arachnacantha may be correct. Viewed in the sun it is a very dark green with a red cast on the ribs. So far everything is looking good, except the Epithelantha micromeris. Looks as if it was overwatered at some point - the base is slightly discolored and softer than the top. (I should've noticed that there was one completely collapsed in the pot.) Not sure how to respond. There are five in the pot, so I have options...
