Well my Epiphyllum Oxypetalum will be flowering tonight! I'll be sure to take some nice pics for u all, I went to a local nursery and got a pot full of flowering Mammillaria decipiens, I have figured out what the giant cactus from next door is apperantly its a Consolea moniliformis which is a native species from the Carribean, and finally i potted up two of the unknown seed grown cacti I believe the bigger one to be a golden barrel cactus.
Buds open tonight

Hi, cpman - glad to see these nice plants you have there - the place everything you like grows easily. :D
The Consolea moniliformis cutting in the back and two of the unknowns potted up
The left seedling is some kind of Ferocactus, that on right - Echinocactus grusonii. The cutting in the back is actually a green fruit but it could root and proliferate, who knows...
If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.
