I don't make the rules - "compost aliens" feature quite regularly in my Alien Plants of the British Isles, so as I see it Annie's plant would be accepted as a wild record.

As for your cacti, well, if you actually sowed the seeds yourself, that might be stretching it a bit far - although it's probably the same route that most modern records of Corncockle & Cornflower come from
