Hello!
I need help with cacti identification. I bought them in various places, some in nurseries, some in stores. None of them had a name!
Is there anyone who can tell the proper names of these plants?
I also bought a cactus that was sold under a name 'burbank's spineless' but it clearly is not the one. It blooms yellow. It grew from a few tiny pads to that in a little over a year. Looks like some form of opuntia hybrid. Is anyone familiar with it?
Thanks!

Re: Need help with cacti ID
#5 is likely an Opuntia ficus-indica.
Read the rules: maximum 3 species a topic or a week. Better do some other posts in this forum first.
Good to know your location as well (California or elsewhere) to let us make some conclusions about what are you growing there.
Otherwise don't be surprised of not getting any answers here.

Hybrids is hard to recognize and "which one" is not so important.Looks like some form of opuntia hybrid. Is anyone familiar with it?

If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.

Re: Need help with cacti ID
The "Burbank's Spineless" label on #5 could be correct. Luther Burbank put a lot of effort into trying to develop spineless cacti varieties for farming. One of these varieties that has survived is a "spineless" hybrid of O. ficus-indica which isn't totally spineless. See: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/spineless-cactus
