This one I have no clue. But care less about for some reason. I thought I overwatered and rotted it so I lopped the top off to try and root. Turns out it was just fine the top is still trying to shoot roots down months later and the bottom lived... #-o

Yes, you're right 0 the first one is an Echiniopsis. I think the second one might be too. If it's a true species then the first one is E. oxygona but there are are hundreds of similar looking hybrids. E. oxygona is quite common though.
