Brian or anyone else . Can you ID these at all.? The little cacti were squashed into tiny pots and a larger dish. The segments are about 1" long and tend to break off as soon as you touch them . I have repotted into larger pots and have plenty to share if anyone wants some.
Brian, if you are looking, it does resemble the similar small one I sent you some of , but doen't look exactly the same. It does look like it has flowered so hopefully will again for a better ID.
Jean
Succulent and cacti ID please

The little cactus is Echinopsis chamaecereus Syn Chamaecereus sylvestrii "The Peanut Cactus". It has a very nice orange flower quite large for the size of the plant. The segments are not well attached and will fall off if you look at them too hard. Very small spines, quite a friendly little cactus well worth having.
Don't know the succulents I'm not too clever with them.
Brian
Thank you Brian. I will label them all accordingly. It will be a pretty sight if they all flower together as there are a lot of them.

Best of luck, KK.
Here's one of my Crassulas flowering in early May: Crassula perforata 'Giant Pagoda' (by the way, those are actual raindrops on the flower - WHEEE!). I am actually pretty pleased with this photo, it took me an awful lot of blurry tries to get a good close-up of these tiny (2mm) flowers.
Hi Jean, The succulent in 6343228 is a Haworthia Attenuata - semi shade to shade - great for pots and grows to about 13cm - water moderately. By the time you see this you may have already found out. Rgds, Rhonda
Thank you Rhonda , Brian and KK . I still have a few without names but am slowly getting there.
Jean.
Hi Jean,
Can you post new (clearer) pictures of the ones that are "leftover" on a new thread?
I'll see what I can do to finish it up for you. Your NOIDs are easier than mine, LOL!
Ciao, KK
Thanks KK. I may wait until the spring now as everything is damp and some are a bit icky with the cold.
Jean.
