the 2 pups start ~100mm up stem, not at the base.

Most members id this as Grandiflorus...pups at base, very different in form than the 1 above.

just on the off chance any one can name this yellow flw opuntia, it has purplish pads (unlike the bright green pad opuntia next to it)

grandiflorus comes in 2 basic flower colors, red or white. then theres the hybrids, which run the gamut of colors, reds, pinks, orange, yellowish you name it.

I dont see a spachianus in your mix of cacti, so its doubtful the white flowered plant is spachianus.

no help for the opuntia

Can you post an example of a white grandiflorus, zelly?

I've read of them but don't recall ever seeing one.

"Echinopsis schickendantzii .........

........... blooms with a single unscented white flower followed by edible fruit"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echinopsis_schickendantzii

schickendantzii looks just like the white bottom 1.........except the scent on mine is extraordinary.I have had them inside the conservatory & 1 flw's scent dominates the whole space...even out doing the liquid fert (which really reaks...)
