There are 2 cacti in my photostream.

If anyone could ID them and the horticultural name I would be grateful.

Thank you-

First one looks like a mammillaria, not sure about the species though. I believe the second one is Parodia leninghausii, aka Golden Ball Cactus.

Don't know about the first, but plantomaniac is correct about the second one. You may find information under Notocactus leninghausii as well.

That is a lovely specimen; all mine get brown/tan on the bottom; I had a smaller one that had promise as a lovely plant, but a grasshopper or something took a big chunk out of it.
