Great plants Leonet!
The fruit on what looks like an Astrophytum myriostigma sure looks out of place...

The little yellow flower Stapeliad, i beleive to be Piaranthus geminatus var. foetidus

The one just below that, is also a Stapeliad, some type of Huernia sp.

Beautiful plants Leonet, thanks for the photos!

The Stapeliad with the huge flower is incredible! I also love the red-variegated Gymno which has a pink developing seed pod. And so many others!

Hi Leonet,

Very nice collection! What is the plant in the picture before the last which looks like an Astrophytum but has a fruit very unlike that of an Astrophytum???

Cheers,

Marlon.

Hi Leonet,
Thanks for sharing your pictures & some lovely plants also.
I believe the plant Andy asked about is Monadenium ritchei.
