Number 4 looks like one of the forms of Opuntia articulata syn. Tephrocactus articulates. Are those flowers or fruits on number 2?

 

2 with fruits like berries
Thnk you for Opuntia!

 

#3 Leuchtenbergia principis?

 

Thank you, I want #3 to be Leuchtenbergia principis. It looks like agave with spines! !!

 

enlarge picture for 2

 

#2 looks a bit like Searsia lancea

 

"Searsia lancea grows fairly fast, up to 80 cm/year in height for young trees. It flowers from April to September(–January) and ripe fruits can be found from September to February. "
Leaves match perfect. May it be not fruits but buds?

 

Was that in South Africa? If it gets fruits in the spring in the southern hemisphere, then maybe this is the right fruiting time.

 

Wendy, you are probably right
