Hi. These pictures are slightly slightly better. These are the ones I'm still not sure about. Is the flat oblong one an opuntia?

Pictures are very hard to see. Maybe if you backed up a bit it might come out clearer?

I'm sorry for making this such a chore for you guys. I'm really bad at taking pictures.

don't have the window in the background, makes plant look like a shadow.

don't get too much in the frame, the camera has trouble deciding what to focus on.

try taking pics at night & using the flash in a room with low light. focus on a particular part of the plant.

good luck...

I love the sweet scents wafting in the breeze. I stop to admire the vibrant colors of all living things. And people think me odd. Then ODD I am!!!

The first set of pictures are blurred looking. The second set is better to me. The plants look like cacti to me.

one looks like an aloe plant it is the one with broad flat leaves that kinda spiral around the plant.

One looks like it may be an alligator plant it is in this picture http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h144/AmanyB/Picture156.jpg on the left hand top corner.
