Cactus #1 is definately Astrophytum ornatum
Cactus #2 may be Ferocactus latispinus, looks dead, however
Cactus #3 may be Echinocereus knippelianus -looks like it's getting too much water
Cactus #4 most likely Thelocactus bicolor
Cactus #5-6 -Mammillaria of some sort
Cactus #7 Can't tell for sure, perhaps a monstrous form of Cleistocactus winteri
Cactus #8 Parodia of some sort perhaps sellowii or werdermanniana
Cactus #9 definately Mammillaria spinosissima
Cactus #10 a Mammillaria not sure on species

Sorry, can't help you on the succulents. However your Cactus 11 is a Lithop not a cactus and your Succulent 1 looks like a Mammillaria. Perhaps matudae.

by the way thanks for the compliments! :wink:

Succulent #5 - Faucaria tigrina. Belongs to Aizoaceae family, Ruschioideae subfamily, Stomatium group. Comes from South Africa and likes full sun, but do it gradually if it was placed in shade. Do not overwater it and wait until the soil is completely dry.

Hi. As Daiv wrote, the 11 is not a cacti the name of the genus is Lithops.
The succulent 2 seems Hawortia, may be H. cimbyformis, and the succulent 3 and 5 belomgs to the genus Faucaria, as Eduart wrote about succulent 5. I can?t help with the succulent 4. But i think that the reproduction by cutting is posible.Good Look.

Succulent 1 looks like Mammillaria carmenae.
