Nice! Are you familiar with the genera Huernia, Orbea, and Stapeliads? They're succulents that look like cacti, right down to having "spines". But they're like gag rubber knives, soft and flexible to the touch.

Wathcout! Taht's an Opuntia, probably Opuntia monocantha variegated! It has no big needels but, as all Opuntia and relatives, has very little needles in groups called glochids. Check if the plants has them!

That cactus is unique, certainly nothing I've seen before. Great choice for your wife!

This is a hybrid, probably H. occulata x urceolata. It looks like it would do some real damage!
