Cacti and stone plants ID + opinions

[mutant]

I found these Lophophoras in a local nursery, what a surprise, I realise they're quite young for someone to tell, but still, would anyone wanbt to give some opinions?

***********

I grafted one in a myrtillocactus stock, my first serious attempt, to boost it's growth and maybe ID it earlier... I hope it doesnt fail, 'cause it's a pretty thin slice....

the 2 trichs

they came from a good US vendor , a t.pachanoi and t.bridgesii - I don;t for one moment doubt their ID, but I would love to see any comments on my new and already beloved specimens from you guys here....

I found Euphorbia obesa for the round cacti.... I saw some photos of it clustering, what's the story with it?

as far as the stone plants are concerned, what are argyroderma and lithops botanical differences??

The Lophophora look like typical young L. williamsii to me. And I don't know enough about non-Cactaceae succulents to help with the Lithops/Argyrodema question, but I would think it would have to do with the flowers.

My first graft seems succesful, in spite of it being a thin slice ~ a poor first attmpt , that is

Yes Sanches.

He's left the room, try to cut through the rope with one of your spines.

ROFL ^^

Mutant, nice plants and thanks for the photos. That last pic (the tied up pach) looks very similar to a young cacti I bought as a Peruvianus hybrid, can you shed any light on the background of your plant? Might help me to narrow down the parentage of mine.

well this particular plant is what got me into cacti - I got this as a newbiee gift from Jono of this very forum - speaking of jono, where is this lad... [ok I found him ]

other than that, it was supposed to be a san pedro , seed grown... I will let you know if I learn anything more... I do want to learn more on my plant, so...
