Here I was thinking that a cactus was a cactus and it would be easy to tell what kind they are, how nieve of me Laughing

You have all given me a great starting point and I have been looking at pictures non stop ever since.

Can you mix a Gymnocalycium with a Parodia? The reason I ask is because #2's flower (from memory) does not have hair/spines on its bud, and from what I have read this would make it a Gymnocalycim. However the picture I found that most resembles my cactus is Parodia Linkii "buenekeri"

And would #1 be a Parodia Werdermanniana? That is the closest photo I could find to it.

Still would love to know what #3 is as I LOVE it so much and would like to know how to get more. It has never flowered and never had any pups so I am beginning to wonder how they "Make babies" so to speak Wink

How old or big do the Parodia magnifica's need to be to flower or send out pups? It is about 8-9cms wide at the moment and it has not done either.

Once again thanks for all your help
