    How do you care for them in Winter? I imagine you receive a decent amount of snow accumulation in your 6A climate  in Michigan.

    i dont really care for them that much in winter. The sempervivums and sedums just scrunch up, or die back, the cacti do well when its cold but the snow melted, even with moisture. I honestly thought the echinocereus was going to rot the entire winter, but it didnt.

    That is interesting to learn.  I would not have expected the Sedum or Sempervivums to endure long periods in snow.

    Your "idk what" Opuntia with the giant finger-impaling spikes looks a lot like a Polyacantha.  I have one called "Dark Knight" that is ridiculously stabby.

    Depending on where they originate, yes, many sps of both Genus can be very cold / frost / freeze tolerant. Some even grow in Alaska, Greenland / Iceland ( Sedum )
