We had a miserable Winter in Vermont. No, it wasn't too cold...it was actually too mild. Most of my cacti in the greenhouse never went dormant. And I didn't want to water them because that would just encourage them to continue to grow, I thought. I lost over two dozen cacti. I won't try to replace them all, but I'm building back with a few interesting ones I've found locally. I can make semi-educated guesses on what these are, but not all. I've looked in all my usual sources for ID's but can't find anything close enough to make a determination. The numbers on the closeups are for easy reference.
#1 I think is a Rebutia;
#2 I thought might be a Mammillaria but there's no typical fuzz where it should be.
#3, a Lobivia/Echinopsis of some kind?
#4, definitely a Mamm, but which species? I believe I found
#5 in
Cacti, The Illustrated Dictionary and seems to be Lobivia maximiliana v caespitosa. Could that be right?
#6 is not dried up and dead; it is solid, but wrinkled, and a brownish color, and looks to me like a Gymnocalycium. Any help would be much appreciated.
