I know the torts can eat the cactus, but can they have the flower too? (Russians)

I don't know! It looks like he sent a few varieties of cactus, this is the only one with a flower. So maybe it's the type of cactus? There is also another plant he sent that is starting to bloom tiny blue flowers, I'm thinking it's a wandering Jew.

I hope everything is going to make it, Now I have to start drinking beer? after all these years I thought it was the cheap whiskey that I drink from the old Burger King, Star Wars Glasses, that kept the plants growing good, learn something new everyday,
