Thought I'd post a few of my plants that I haven't felt 100% sure of, for some ID confirmations. Any assistance is much appreciated.   1. Opuntia humifusa? Pardon the wrinkles. This guy's due for another good watering. (I've worn a significant number of glochids from this fellow  ) 2. Opuntia macrocentra?  3. Rhombophyllum dolabriforme?  4. Aeonium decorum?  5. Senecio barbertonicus, or Peperomia ferreyrae? Leaves are usually much more plump. Like green beans. Also due for a good watering.  6. Opuntia basilaris?  7. Cereus aethiops? |

| 1. I agree probably O. humifusa 2. Seems to fit with macrocentra, though some pads look a little off... but that could be growing conditions. 6. is Opuntia microdasys possibly a slightly crested version 7. is Stetsonia coryne The other plants are outside of my knowledge base. It is what it is! |

| Thanks, guys. I'll get a new picture of the first Opuntia as soon as it plumps back up again. |

Macrocentra said:Thanks, guys. Your opuntia may not plump up until it "wants" to. It may be dry looking because it's dormant. I have some planted outdoors in my rock garden. Right now they look like yours does.  |

| I think it is dormant. It did that near the beginning of winter and has looked the same since. I don't water much in the winter as most of them go dormant. I did water it not too long ago as well, and it still looks that way. So I think it's staying dormant for now. Our season here has also been colder than usual. Everyone got a thorough water when the semi-warm weather hit, and it's one of two that didn't plump back up to their pre-winter forms. May just need some more time. |

Mine spend all year outside. |

Think it'd be okay? I've always been nervous to keep my cactuses outside with all the rain and jumping temperatures. So I haven't tried it so far. Have you kept any other species outside with success? |
