Thanks for the information! I found the botanical name.
It's difficult to keep up with all the Cacti names because
we grown so many genera here.

I saw these on offer at the grocery store last winter and I was tempted to bring one home...the cacti were about 6 inches across and they wanted 15$ for them...is that a good price, D1? They seemed dangerous! the spikes were long and sharp looking! lol...maybe I should plant a cacti reservoir, just have to make sure that I have a safe way of moving it around.

I'm not sure if $15.00 is a good price...it could be for your area. Here I see this cactus for sale for a 4 or 5 dollars.
Yes, they can be dangerous to handle...you need thick leather gloves and newspaper.
