I would really like some help Iding these 2 cacti. I suspect the first to be a Gymnocalycium and the second to be Hamatocactus setispinus. Are these id attempts possible?

Thanks for your help,

Julie

I think you're right in both cases. Can't see the body too clearly but probably Gymnocalycium friedrichii.

Number 2 looks like a Ferocactus hamatacanthus.

Ciao Wazungy!

Fero hamatacanthus and Thelocactus setispinus are relatives. Later they thought so close (they were both in the same family, Hamatocactus, today it's separated to two different family. Hamatacanthus went to the Feros, setispinus to the Thelos. The obviuos difference (what you can see on this photo)is the throat of the flower. Hamatacanthus never has red one.
