Let's get ready to rumble ... here we go again:

1)What's this wadded stuff ?

2) Here's another nameless immigrant who should be identified!

3)... and this is even heavy armed

4) ... if there were not the spines this could have been pickled!

5) ... don't bite please!

6)Once I would have called it teachers pillow!

7) "Mother with offspring while the father is making siesta"!

I would say:
1) Mammillaria plumosa fa. cristata
2) Haageocereus.. ?
3) Pilosocereus (pachycladus?)

#4 is now usually considered to be E. fimbriata variegate and the old name probably a mis-identification.

#7 +1 for E. suzannae/susannae.

Great!

The mammillaris part is the old name so you can drop that part out. Lancer's 'Euphorbia fimbriata variegate' is the whole name.

I don't agee with No 2. I'm certainly no expert but I don't think it is Haageocereus zehnderi. I have one that looks exactly the same which I purchased from a box store so I don't think it is extremely rare.

So maybe it could be a Haageocereus salmonoides wich is more common, made a research on ebay looking at the less expensive ones, I bought it in a big mall but didn't spend more than 2 Eur (less than 3 $).

This is a total shot in the dark for #2 based only on appearance: Micranthocereus estevesii?

On the pix I googled this one looks too fat (either in the middle or at the top) my cacti looks straight and slender ...
