Decided to try my hand at more cacti and succulent type plants! (Bonus points for being hardy / prickly cause the cats don't mess with them as much) Here we have two lil guys I picked up omw home from work. The best ID match I could find was on the left: "Echeveria Dionysos" which is a hybrid originating from Echeveria Purpusorum. On the right: SOME SORT OF Eriosyce the best match being "Eriosyce Heinrichiana" and there looks to be a million hybrids of those! Both of them drew me in because of the deep purply / red tones 🏜️ I don't particularly lean towards or reach for hybrids but I love these two nonetheless!

Eriosyce occulta
For comparison with the Copiapoa humilis just posted, here is a rather similar-looking dark-bodied cactus in the gnus Eriosyce, also from the coast of northern Chile, but from a completely different genus. Another of the amazing array of cacti to be found in Chile.
