The two on the right were unlabeled and while I doubt they are active it would be cool to know what they are.

Blue myrtle - popular name for Myrtillocactus geometrizans.

I use it extensively as such. As long as it's protected from cold and wet winters, it's excellent. The third cactus is a species thats appears occasionally for sale over here and I'm not sure what it is; it looks like a Trichocereus, yet...

Can I play devils advocate on the 3rd/ far right one, and say: Stetsonia coryne.? It looks like a young Stetsonia. Give it another year or 2 and watch the areoles and flowers. The first, appears to be a brigisioid. and the second I agree looks to be a Myrillocactus geometrizians. Regardless, all 3 look nice.

I'm going to disagree with you Miss K just for fun! I don't know what the one on the right is but I don't think it's Stetsonia, "toothpick cactus" here's mine before repotting
 The aereoles are more white and the spines are much darker and longer, with a more glaucous skin
3 looks like a trich to me but if Z doesn't think so...I'm curious what the yet could mean
