The one with multiple plants might be tricky to solve :/

Top picture right, something like Gymnocalycium anisitsii - there are quite a few similar looking species.

2nd picture right - rather too young to be certain, but may turn out to be Lobivia ferox, or if not, some other strong spined Lobivia.

3rd picture - might just be offsets of the the plant in the middle, with juvenile spination while the middle one has adult spination. Perhaps Turbinicarpus (Kadenicarpus) krainzianus? The other plant is a different Turbinicarpus.

The other plant in the first photo, with multiple stems, looks to be Cereus 'Fairy Castle' (various other names also used).

3rd picture could be Turb Krainzianus, but I have my doubts, in any case they are unlikely to be offsets that far from the main body.

Has it been in the pot for some time? do you know the flower colour?

My feeling from this image [without the above info] is that the main plant is a hybrid, if you want my best guess at parentage maybe T.viereckii x T.klinkerianus.

The remaining plants seedlings, where a fruit has developed and the seeds washed down to find suitable germination spots. In which case they would be further crosses/back crosses, maybe T.(viereckii x klinkerianus) x ??? showing well the different phases of Turbinicarpus seedling development.
Grow them on and have fun working it out.

Thanks guys, it had a pink flower so its most likely to be a T. roseiflorus. Someone on FB thought the seedling next to it was T.s chmiedickeanus ssp. klinkerianus or similar. No idea what the tiny white ones are yet. I bought this from ottershaw cacti and he didn't know what was in it.
