    The tree pots are Echipopsis multiplex, The other may be Opuntia subulata

    The second looks like a Euphorbia as well (of a different species, though). To check, see if it exudes milky white latex when pricked (caution: Euphorbia latex is poisonous and can cause skin burns, don't get it on your skin!). Opuntia have clear sap.
