Spot on Clyde Grafted onto an Opuntia humifusa. It's got a Peanut cactus grafted onto it too which hasn't grown for over a year, but it hasn't died either

This one is a bit different...

Good choice of stock for this vestita. Subulata is very close to it.

Hoping it'll benefit from the vigour of the Subulata next year

Finished my flower video for the year

It's been re classified as Parodia lanata
