Opuntia chaffeyi
This is a very modest plant with small for Opuntua flowers, and interesting caudex-like root. In the winter it looses some of it's stems, relying more on the fat roots for storage.

Mammuyllaria luetheyi
Not long ago it was a rarity, reasonably common now but still on a higher end of price range plant. Most of the plant you see are grafted, like the one in picture. Seeds are rare for sale, due to specifics of the plant reproductive biology.
Seems like everyone has a picture of it, so now is my turn.
