Hey guys,

Got these ages ago, some flowered some didn't.. but still only have rough idea what they are... so any help is really appreciated from you guys ;)

1st: some sort of mammilaria? Possibly coryphantha?
2nd: Came to me named as echinopsis obrepanda, doesn't look anything like it though?
3rd: rebutia? Mediolobivia?
4th: she seems really tired, but still growing roots, lost all its roots when I got it... can't make myself throw it away though... gymnocalycium spegazzini?
5th: absolute confusion.... I'm thinking lobivia,seen flower tufts coming up...

Again any ideas appreciated 😊

1 Parodia maxima? (maassii?)
2 Lobivia sp? (aff ferox? - pugionacantha, culpinensis?, kieslingii?)
3 Mediolobivia sp (haagei?)
4 Gymnocalycium? schickendantzii? carminanthum???
5 Lobivia aurea fallax?

Very interesting! Some of them definitely gonna need a flower to confirm I'd. Im pretty shocked with parodia ID. It looks nothing like a parodia at all.. but after looking at some of the photos it very well could be one! Cacti and their taxonomy never seizes to amaze me.....
So it seems you are a walking cacti book! I have few more IDs that I'm not sure of, would it be cheeky to upload more photos?

Have a look and see what you think 🤔

1st: another lobivia of some sort? It refuses to grow...seems like it had better days...
2nd: I have it down as coryphantha radians, it has very interesting flowers, nearly lime!
3rd: trichocereus tersheckii?
4th: trichocereus hybrid? Lobivia perhaps?
5th: definitely a lobivia, rosaroiana maybe?

I think these are one of the last unidentified ones in my collection 😊 thank you :)
