Aloe and adenium blooms

I think this one is nobilis, or maybe its mitriformis.

Aloe brevifolia,

Adenium obesum

A weird home depo special with two different looking flowers on one plant, the center stem(all pink)deffinatly grafted,

Very nice clumps of aloe you got there Tony. The adenium is weird but cool!

They are nice Tony.
What is that cactus with the big stem on the first picture? Brasilopuntia maybe? Can you put on the whole plant? greets Harry

Tony,

I think that your aloe IDs are right. A. mitriformis. Very interesting adenium. Maybe someone knows about the two kinds of flowers. Could it have been grafted? Hard to imagine at Home Depot.

Here ya go Harry, opuntia cochimilifera

this one is about 5 years old from a single pad cutting taken from the plant in the next picture that is about 7 years old, also grown from a single pad.

Its interesting how the originaly flattened pad has turned into a rounded trunk.

Here's the grafted section Buck,it even still had some kind of grafting string on it when I bought it a year or so ago.
