          If it looks like a cactus, prickles like a cactus, then....

            You got a couple of these Zigs.;)
            If pollinated, it forms small round edible fruits that smell strongly of ripe melon when ripe.

            Think the yellow one is different to your Owcho, took seven off sets off it last week.

                Well, cactus are not easy to ID for definite, but my guess would be something similar to Epiphyllum, it looks a very nice plant.
                Personally I'd say it is not a desert cacti, more the kind that climb and tend to sprawl over other plants in semi tropical/ tropical areas.
