77Sunset, The round cactus with two pups looks like Echinopsis multiplex and if the pink flower is the same plant that settles it. The name has been Changed now to E. oxygona. Your Opuntia looks like one I had donkeys years ago and we nick named it "The sausage plant". I was thinking it might make a good rootstock plant because it reproduces so rapidly and as you said bits drop off all the time, if it is the same it will have virtually no spines but the glotchids will get you every time if not careful. If it is the same I would like some bits if we can organise it.
Photo of my E. multiplex taken a couple of weeks ago.
