Comments (6)I forgot about this post. Gardengal, they are grown outdoors. The top may be O. robusta but I doubt an O. violacae. I will post some of my o. violacae later as I am unsure about them also. Cactus lord, I have not found a Euphorbia Ferox that looks like mine but I am still looking. It does have little yellow flowers along the spines. Daffodillady, I do believe the bottom left is some form of cows tongue. Thanks everyone for your help....See More2 new unknown cacti

Seems silly to say, Stephanie, but I think the other is a Mammillaria (there are gazillions). Maybe someone else will recognize it & pipe up!!...See MorePrickly pear cacti
Comments (4)gardenpages is right,but if your yard is big and have to use the sprinkler then use a fast draining soil(lots of perlite) and youll be set! I have mine in a large pot with almost no drainage, i water it almost every other day and its thriving!(last year it was a single pad; its five now!)...See Morekaktuskris
