Need Help Identifying 2 Cacti
I purchased the first cactus about a year ago, there was a smaller cactus grafted on top but that died a while ago. It's been recently growing arms very fast, and it looks like it might be growing more off of it. The second cactus I got pretty recently, and I know nothing about it. It has a purple flower on it. It doesn't seem to have grown any in the month that I've had it or it grows slowly. Any help is appreciated.

The second is probably cereus fairy castle

The purple flower on the second one is most likely a fake one. Cereus fairy castle has a white flowers and bloom when is mature enough (10 years or older)
