Cacti ID's and new additions to the garden
    #15012104 -

Got a bunch of new plant donations this weekend! Need ID's on pretty much all of them... here we go!

Up first, the CACTI:

1)This awesome variegated prickly-pear-type thing. She called em "Alligators"... I dunno. Anyone know the latin name? Opuntia something?
   

2) The suspected San Pedro (Gatorade bottle for size reference). 6 ribs, very short spines of the same beige color as the areoles. Mostly 4 spines per areole? This was a pup recently removed from the mother... you can imagine how big the mother is.
   

3) Another amazing variegated columnar. She called it "Grey Ghost" but as far as I know, Grey Ghost is a rosette-forming cactus/succulent? This one has very pretty whitish-grey short spines, while younger spines near the top are greenish/reddish/brownish. 4 ribs. WHAT IS IT, and if I water it more will it fatten up?
   

4) Mystery cactus. Just realized this guy lived behind my massive jade plant. Odd thing is pups (emerald green) are different color than main columns (bluish and yellowish green). The thing has survived with zero watering in about an inch and a half of soil. At some point he must have been tipped over for a few months cos there's a 90 degree change in direction of growth. Can anyone identify it?
     

5) Mini cactus rescued from sidewalk. (Bic pen for size reference) This looks so much like a cactus someone would draw in a cartoon


6) Mini something else... hawthoria? This had beautiful red-purplish-brown coloring with green when I got it, but now it has turned almost completely green. No idea why.


7) Another prickly beast, just cos she's the cutest one of all.



The non-cacti donations to the garden this weekend...

BANANA!!

No idea how I will pull this off indoors, but I will try. Currently about 2 feet tall.

BABY BONSAI!! Ficus Number 1 & Ficus Number 2 (that kinda looks like an Adenium?)
 
Can't wait to get my hands dirty with bonsai-ing.

That's all for now... in the meantime got some baby trichs, lophs, hoodia, mimosa hostilis, silene capensis and salvia all doing pretty good too.
ANy help given for IDing the above-pictured cacti would be greatly appreciated!

#2 is definitely a pachanoi (san pedro)
#4 looks to me like a very unhealthy pachanoi.  One of the limbs appears to have a root growing out of it.

Thanks Mostly_Harmless.
I'm gonna have to learn more about Euphorbias... I had the impression that they are the kind that form awesome caudex roots and look more like a little tree than a cactus. Interesting that the Euphorbia family is so varied.

:thumbup: That is good news to me! From zero to two pachanois in one weekend!
The root appeared from its time it  spent tipped on its side without any water, I expect. I'll prolly try to remove the pups and plant them on their own in better conditions.
