Wowzers! Drooling Drooling Drooling

I'll try my shot at some IDs! Be sure to open the pictures as I attached numbers with the ones I IDed/attempted to ID.

#1 + #3. Same cactus actually! They're baby Echinocactus grusonii 'Golden Barrel' (they look so different as adults).
#2. Mammillaria hahniana 'Old Lady Cactus'
The more "naked" one up front looks like a Mammillaria to me, I'm just not sure which one.
Thumb of 2016-11-03/Hamwild/05e19f

4. Parodia magnifica 'Balloon Cactus'
Thumb of 2016-11-03/Hamwild/3afc71

5. Okay, this one I'm not 100% sure so you may have to get a second opinion (it was a little hard to see it's spines), but I believe it's Mammillaria spinosissima 'Red Headed Irishman' Some of their spines vary from cactus to cactus. My Mother has one that's more half white/half red and some are very red all the way down the spine.

Thanks everyone!
In the pic i tagged pilosocerus the one on the right looks like P. Chrysacanthus?

#1+3 are the same @hamwild thanks for the id! I've had one of them for over a year and the larger one more recent!
#2 yes hamwild got it id'd as M. Hahniana from thijs awhile back.
The more naked one and the far back might be the same also Im not sure! Looks like M. Polythele! The back left I think is M. Spinosissima "rubrispina"
5 does look like M. Spinosissima and beside is pilosocereus azureus!

Sorry greg/karen I swore I replied yesterday but guess not! Id love to have more greg! Ive got a few other non succulents in te house too! Karen to be honest it was a work friend who got me into cacti and apart from that I don't know anyone else who keeps succulents in my area!
Update on is it unusual or not for uk/ireland? Maybe not karen I've been loiking into that and there's quite a few cactus/succulent events happen in ireland! Mostly in dublin by the looks! I will have to pay them a visit someday.

Sy, they are quite addicting to grow, especially since most are so easy to propagate too. Just got to watch out for their dormancy periods. Leaving them alone is your best approach, which at times is the hardest thing to do.

Got to share the photo of my Senecio anteuphorbium, this particular one has grown so tall, about 48 inches tall now, I guess it really liked that part sun side and the warmth from the house at night during this cold season, new leaves forming too, but not able to do any blooms yet, unlike the other one on another location in my garden.
This is the only one that grew that tall, the other anteuphorbiums remained at a short and manageable level. Maybe in Spring, I will have to cut and replant, it is getting way too tall.

The color of the spines, separation of the spines, and the length are different. I'll have to wait for pictures of blooms until next year (the N. scopa bloomed, you can see all the seeds Hilarious! , but I failed to take a picture when it bloomed Sad ).
