| Let's see... Photos one and two look like Echinopsis pups of some sort. I reckon photos three through five are probably Tephrocactus of some kind, possibly T. articulatus. Six I don't think is a cactus; to my eye I'd guess its some species of Euphorbia. Seven looks to be Mammillaria... I'll take a punt and say M. polythele. Eight is - I think - a Trich spach cutting that's got a bit etoliated from lack of light. Numbers nine and ten are Opuntiad, and I have a plant that is similar to the second, but I don't know what it's called either. Something in Cylindropuntia is a possibility. Finally, number eleven is a Mamm of some sort. Its growth is a bit wild-looking, and until you get a flower from it I reckon it might a tough one to pin a positive ID on. Anyway, hope all this helps. | |

| Thanks Lach, the help has been great! I am getting a vague idea of the genus of some now so I can look them up on the online key mentioned.
Darren they cost about $1.50 each all up so I was pretty pleased. I think even the unhealthy ones will pick up with some care, all of them had roots at least. There isn't often mixed lots on ebay | |

| I'll second Lachy's id's 1-2 = Echinopsis, #1 possibly E multiplex... now known as E. oxygona. 3-5 = Tephrocactus, 6 = Euphorbia mammillaris variegata, and yes that is the correct colour for that one. 7 = Mammillaria... not easy to tell but I think M. magnimamma. 8 = not sure. 9-10 possibly Cylindropuntia of some sort 11= a Mamm but difficult to id in it's present condition.
Should turn into a nice bunch of plants.
