    I inherited these cactus plants from a friend who moved out of state. Please help if you know what any of the following are:

    1. This plant is about... 24 inches high, split into two stalks:

    2. There are three of these, two are rich green, the other is a very pale green:

    3. Small and button like. purplish-brown in color:

    4. The round spikey ones with little fuzzy nodes popping out of them:

    your help is very appreciated! And I just realized I meant to post this directly under the cactus threads.. can it be moved? thanks!

    I'm not sure, but (1) looks like some kind of pachypodium, maybe pachypodium geayi. I've never seen one with 2 stems though. (3) looks like euphorbia obesa.
    I have no ideas about the others, sorry!

    I would suggest Euphorbia mammillaris for #2 and Parodia mammulosus for #4. Agree with Pachypodium for #1 and Euphorbia obesa for #3.
