    I think the thirst one is a lady fingers cactus plant. I don't no maybe get a norther bucket for the first plant because there are a lot of other cactus plants growing on it and the second pick also have a norther plant on it. Maybe going to sell the others.:thumbup::):thumbup:

    Top one looks like an Echinocereus
    The other two - Mammillarias

    Very nice.
    Give it as much sun as you can
    And don’t water until those side leaves are totally shrivelled

    :lol: Hopefully the pansies will survive the wind :tt2:
    Just fyi on them, they're considered winter annuals, and don't like our summer heat, so you if they are struggling you can try moving them somewhere that doesn't get too hot or only gets morning sun for the summer time
