Cactus IDs please

Post by NorfolkExotics »

I’ve had these for a while but they unfortunately remain nameless. I am far less experienced with cacti than many of the folks on this forum, so any help with ID suggestions would be appreciated.

Here’s the first. Some kind of Echinopsis? It’s been relatively hardy (survived -3 undamaged in 2018) so far if that helps at all.

These three came from BCSS supplied seed a few years ago but in typical fashion I let the label fade :oops: . Any ideas?

They all look like Trichocereus with the three in the second photo being T. chilensis.

Thank you both for the ID. Does anyone have any idea as to the specific species of the plant in the first photo?

Again, thanks for the responses. If they are Trichocereus/Echinopsis terscheckii then they certainly have a very long way to go to match Paul's plant :lol:
