Plants look great! Sorry I forgot to label them, the tall gold spines one is a golden rats tail cactus, the one in big black pot I'm not sure what it is although I'd 99% say echinopsis. Second row from left aylostera albipilosa, parodia magnifica, lobivia aracantha hybrid, echinopsis and notocactus leninghausi. The opuntia is good for grafting once it gets more limbs (use 1 year old pads). Your garden is looking great, really like the spacing and balance of plants. The succulents add a nice contrast. Your pachanoi with damage need attention quite quickly as the rot will spread. I'd pull it out of the ground and cut the rot out using a knife that's been wiped down well with isopropyl alcohol, cut back until you reach healthy tissue. Then allow the wound to heal over winter, should be right to be replanted in spring. Shoot me an email if you need any help!

Ahh I thought the golden rat tail looked familiar! I remember seeing it at the botanical gardens as cleistocacus winteri. Thanks for the rest of the names I'll put some labels on the pots to remember them. The rot on the pachanoi came quite quickly, I'm always walking around the garden checking growth etc then suddenly half of this guy was black! so I'll pull the pachanoi out and do some surgery, hopefully it will survive!
