2xclumpers ID

Question

1. This looks a bit like a larger specimen someone recently posted for ID. My guess would be Sulcorebutia or Rebutia, but the wool has me thinking...

2. This is beautiful and with smallish/weak root system.. not flowered yet... could it be a mammilaria or could it be something else? It is notably purple, only when growing it shows its dark greek at the tips..

I'd be looking at something Eriosyce for the first one.

Second feels like a Mam though I can't say what one.

The first one seems to be a Copiapoa, as I could tell from the flower.. Very typical flower, similar to what I have seen in other Copis..

The second one seems to be doing a shallow and small root system from experience so far..
