Hi- The second one is Sulcorebutia rauschii, which I only know from being an avid reader here.

The others are perhaps all also from South America, and the folks here will tag them.

hi eddytrain
no.1 is gymno baldianum
no.3 is also another gymno, whose name escapes me for the moment

Hi

other gymno is stenopleurum, tho u usually see it as mihonovichii.. If pink flwers then fredrichii.

Last 2 are probably lobivias, maybe aurea???? and and winteriana, not very sure on either. Mike

4 could be one of many lobivias, maybe pentlandii
5 is almost certainly Echinopsis kermesina, now merged under E. mammilosa.
EDIT: spelling should be mamillosa

I'd go with Mike's suggestion of Lobivia aruea.
