I will attempt to narrow it down a bit for you.

1. Not sure?

2. Gymnocalycium sp?

3. Ferocactus sp.

4. Dolichothele/Mammillaria sp.

5. Mammillaria sp, might be an Escobaria sp. though, hard to tell.

6. Echinopsis sp.

7. Mammillaria sp. or possibly Escobaria sp.

8. Opuntia sp.

9. Parodia magnifica

10. Astrophytum myriostigma genki was correct.

11. Oreocereus sp. looks like O. celsisanus

12. Parodia uebelmannianus

Hope that helps a bit, also here is a handy link for cacti pics, good for ID.

thanks a bunch guys

big help

[shroomer_nick]

this is number 1 again, started flowering

[Vertmorpheus]

number 7 looks quite a bit like my Mammillaria gracilis "Snowflake" specimens. Lil yellow-white flowers popping out all over, more scattered than "orbital" like some of the more impressive ones... they're cute lil guys though, tough as nails and pup like mad with a lil love. Mine tend to end up looking like sociopathic midget teddybears.

Nice collection btw, good range of specimens and they all have that hardy look, not the sappy coddled look of some.

agree with all the above, werk men....flowers look like a ferocactus (barrell cactus) to me
