fakeflowers on those [lants and the last one Huernia I think

# 2 could be M warasii and 3 like a T verschaffeltii

Hablu last ones got glochids. Im painfully aware that the flowers are fake, but didnt remove them on the supposed melocactus not to risk infection. Opuntiad "verschaffeltii" is one possibility, but ive just bought it and not seen the necessary leaves if young. Second, the stems are a tad short. Maybe because its young...

Ive not heard of melocactus warassii, but think it could be melocactus broadwayii

Post be a wholesale thing, you probably get shipped the same plants we do...

I planted it using small tongs. Tongs are very useful for dealing with small cacti with lots of spines,hooks and glochids....

Thanks, i'll use it next time.
