Hey guys, I was just wondering if you could help me ID this cactus. When I bought it had "peruvian" as the label.

The globular one on the far right in the black pot is some sort of mammilaria.

And on the bottom shelf you have an Optunia and Aloe, but Mitchnast seems to have covered most of the rest.

I know I have Optunia and Aloe lol. I have opuntia humifusa or eastern prickly pear, from my understanding its fairly rare. Once it gets more established I am going to experiment with planting a few pad out side in the ground. The only thing that may be problematic would be the snow. But from my limited understanding the eastern prickly pears are fairly cold resistant. Thanks alot you guys!
