Hi David,
If you zoom in on the first picture you can see the labels, the first "E" is for Echinocereus, my favourite genus covering USA and Mexico. A large quantity are hardy in an unheated greenhouse and some species can even be planted outside. Most have large flowers too!

Re: Leuchtenbergia principis - aborting buds
I'm read some people find keeping them damp throughout bud formation helps flowering.
