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 . Any ideas?
Cactus IDs please

Re: Cactus IDs please
They all look like Trichocereus with the three in the second photo being T. chilensis.

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

Re: Cactus IDs please
To me they all look the same and I think they are all T. terscheckii.

Re: Cactus IDs please
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
