Cactus ID help please
Hi all,
I currently have a few cacti that are without labels and was wondering if anyone could give me any help with identifying them. Thank you in advance.
An absolute bargain from a garden centre. I was thinking Echinopsis/Trichocereus chiloensis based on the really long spines but I’m certainly no expert so any suggestions would be appreciated.
This was grown from BCSS seed in 2015 or 16 but in typical fashion I lost the label . Any ideas?
Another cheap garden centre buy. Some sort of Cereus maybe?

#3 is a Pilosocereus, possibly P. azureus, but still a bit young to tell.

I think #2 is a copiapoa. The 2016 list has 15 copiapoa listed so difficult to tell which until its a lot bigger but based on the spine colour I would hazard a guess at one of the Coquimbana forms. I don't think its from the 2015 list.
