[S] 3 different cacti /succulents

This pot of 3 different cacti/succulents was given by Shirley to Mark.  I don't have a clue to their names.

ADDED ON 30 AUGUST 2012 - I saw Shirley looking sadly at this pot - all the cacti/succulents have rotted away as they were standing in a pot of water.  I had not realised that there were no draining holes (I drill holes in mine) in this pot and therefore did not notice the water there.

    The red cactus is known as Gymnocalycium mihanovichii. The colour is due to lacking chlorophyll thus showing its pigment.
    The other fleshy cactus is called Crassula Argentea, also known as Jade plant.
    Sadly, I can't find the name of the last surviving plant yet.

    Now that you mentioned it and I had a closer look at it - I now recognise the Jade Plant. At St Helena, in my neighbour's house, it is almost a tree.

    wow.. A tree... A pity, mine did not survive to be a tree... But it's ok. I shall learn from all these errors and be a better plant-grower.
