Shades of Purple

I was walking around the planter benches, looking for mealie bugs to squash and I noticed these plants with a nice shade of purple filling in. One is a Leuchtenbergia principis I bought from the Iwilei Home Depot. It hasn't grown one little bit since I brought it home a couple of months ago. The books say it is a slow grower so I guess this is another plant that will teach me patience. The other one is a Opuntia of some sort - these were hitchhikers on another plant I bought (maybe even the Leuchtenbergia). The sun never really gets too low on the horizon here in Hawaii - so these plants are already getting summer coloring (with the 'spring'-like weather).
