| I am cleaning up my photo archives and would like to identify these plants so I can tranfer the pictures off of my hard disk. These are all at my house, so if you need a better photo, I can try to get one. #1  #2  #3  #4  #5  Take a walk with me at https://www.facebook.com/WildflowersSoCal |

| Sorry Kelli, unless someone more familiar with cacti pops in here, I am not knowledgeable enough to even try. Lali had originally asked me to be co-admin here but then a family health crisis has forced her to abandon the Cubits she created here for the time being. I see that you posted on DG ID forum where faeden is helping, an even better place is in the Cactus & Succulent Forum over there, where there are several additional experts. |

| I didn't know how much traffic this site gets, but thought I'd give it a try since it is easier to download here than at DG. Take a walk with me at https://www.facebook.com/WildflowersSoCal |

| I was going to say #3 looks like a Mammillaria but I see Marilyn (faeden) already IDed that. I have a couple of them. I love that bloom on #1, big and a fabulous orange, one of my favorite colors! |

Here are views of the whole plants. (Yes, if they ever rename this town, I'm voting for Mealy Bug City.  )For more discussion on these id's, you can go to this web site. http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1122018/ #2  #3 It's a mammillaria with fishhook spines, or maybe they all are  #4  #5 I have called this a notocactus, though I think that name is defunct now. It is similar to N. magnificus, though not exactly the same. I have one of those.  Take a walk with me at https://www.facebook.com/WildflowersSoCal |

| 3. is defenatly a Mammillaria and they do mostly have the fish hook spines and circle of pink flowers. Maybe Bocasana. |
