I bought 2 new cacti and an Aloe yesterday.
I would be very happy if they could be IDed.

Re: ID Please
Hi, I would suggest the Aloe is mitriformis and the accompanying pot, four Mammilarias, all the same species. The second picture contains something in the Opuntia family, an expert could tell you which one. I am sure someone here will be able to tell you.
Obsessive Crassulaceae lover, especially Aeoniums but also grow, Aloes, Agaves, Haworthias and a select number of Cacti.

Re: ID Please
I'm not sure about the mammillaria, but try looking at cylindropuntia spinosior for the last picture.

Re: ID Please
The Mamm(s) could be backebergiana ernestii, the darker skinned form of the species. It doesn't easily offset, so I suspect that Liz is right in saying that there probably are 4 plants there, though mass cultivation techniques usually involve quite a lot of growth promoting chemicals, which might have caused untypical offsets.

I googled the Aloe and it can become quite big. I'm happy with my purchase even though it will takes years for i to become that big.

That's great!
Cylindropuntia are among my favorites. I have a Cylindropuntia Molesta, so this new one is a welcome addition.

It was an impulse buy. Even though it's 4 plants potted together or growth promoting chemicals, I am happy with my purchase, it's the only Mammilaria in my collection so far.
The only Mammelaria I realy know I want for my collection is Mammelaria Poselgeri.

Re: ID Please
Wonderful plants Dude :-) the long vine one is a Heliocereus, and the cereus one on the left could possibly be a Cereus peruvianus, I am not sure what type of Opuntia you have though, but they are all lovely and healthy looking :-)
Check out my Cacti and Succulent website, where I upload weekly blogs, photos, and videos :-)
