Oreocereus plants??
Bought this plant which I suggest is an Oreocereus. Looks like the tall plant in the middle could be O. hendriksenianus surrounded by a whole batch of O. trollii. Wonder if someone can confirm please what these plants are. Thanks.

Re: Oreocereus plants
I think you've a Pilosocereus sp. among a forest of Espostoa lanata seedlings.

Re: Oreocereus plants
Thanks Phil. I pulled it apart his evening (it's all go in my house) as I wasn't going to wait till tomorrow. The spines are fine, detach easily and stick in the skin much like on Opuntia vestita, on the small woolly plants. From memory the Oreocereus spines don't detach so I will go with your suggestions Phil. This is what I have ended up with, far too many plants as usual, but for a couple of quid who can say no and they have very healthy root systems. I'm going to have to stick to succulents …
