No1 is Orbea lepida (some say it is the same as variegata)
No2 is a hybrid of Stapelia (probably) gigantea
No3 is Huernia zebrina
No5, 6, 7 and 8 are some Pyranthus, but in some accident I lost their labels, so don't know exactly)
No4 and 9 I have no idea.
That is all I can help.

SUPERB
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Hi Majcka
nice flowers, especially the O. lepida. I'm still waiting for mine to flower.

Do you mean cacti are funnier? Or more fun?
English is such a tricky language...

4 might be Huernia keniensis.
Can’t help with the Piaranthus though.
