Waixingren's Cacti & Plant ID Thread

well, i have a feeling i'm going to be making quite a number of ID requests with time so here we go. also if anyone else cares to jack this thread for their own ID requests please go for it, no need to start a million more threads.
well first, whats this funky monstrose
 got it for $5.22 at walmart, must have been priced wrong since tiny lil 4" pot cacti go for $6-$12 sometimes.
and second.

 crazy spines, i nearly sprung a leak trying to maneuver it out of the back row of the tray. to my untrained eye it looks like some kind of tricho but im still a squishy newbie when it comes to cacti identification. i didnt buy it yet, $9.99 at walmart.

got a couple plant ID's this time.
found this very nice flower/vine growing next door, any ideas?

 thats a mature leaf and an immature leaf
was about 8PM when i picked it so my guess is a type of moonflower but i cant find any that have the same leaf or purple flower. the flower looks very similar to ipomoea pandurata but the leaves dont match up at all. the vine is very hearty and strong.
-----
looks like some type of mimosa, can get very tall 10+ feet. growing wild all over here. i know it isnt much information but i figure its worth a shot.

 forgive the small pictures..upload limit.
help!

I have left over milkweed pods scattered with old vines around my fence. But I don't know what the flowers look like.

ok, heres a few more pictures of the vine. i really want to figure this one out so help me out guys.

 leaf stem
 stem shot, ive tried to make it clear which stem belongs to the vine.
 new growth
 a wider shot of the vine, the vine doesnt branch much if at all, the only branching is from the base.
 picture of the base, you can see they all start from a main stem in the ground, also you can see last years dead growth from the same stem.
 all the seed pods i collected, dried up from last year.
 close up of pods
 an unopened seed pod
 uncleaned seed
 the seeds, size is around .25" or less.
ok, so as you can see the pods are filled with a cottony fur, they look very much like standard morning glory seeds/pods dont you think? also notice the very bumpy texture of the leaf stem, this texture is only on the leaf stem, the main stem and flower stem are smooth. the sepals do feel a bit like leather, very compact calyx. the flower itself is very fragil, tears very easily.
EDIT: the flowers did not open until dark, around 8-9PM so this is definetly a night flower.
so, lets figure it out.
