What do we have here, gentlemen?
    #11108587 -

Hey guys,
I have a few ID request if I may...
Today, one of my new (moved in about a month ago) neighbor across the street
invited me into his house for a beer.
We went outside in his backyard, and he
started to complain how the yard looked
like, and telling me that he want to
change the whole landscape and all the
plants.
He said he hates cacti, and want to get
rid of it.
I said, hey, I like'em and will take them,
except two MONSTERS, they are like 10 feet
tall.
Here's the pictures of the smaller ones,
I'm going to go back tomorrow, and take
some pics of the big ones, because had no
memory space left today.
I know nothing about cacti, so please
be gentle and try to identify them.
Thanks

Oh snaps. I was thinking Cereus while looking at the pictures.  I'm starting to get the hang of ID'ing these prickly bastards.

I think the wooly one is an Espotoa. Possibly E. melanolstele.

The one in the first pic is a cereus and the one in the last pic is some type of agave.

The wooly guy is an Oreocereus sp., possibly O. trollii.

The first one is Cereus peruvianus.

I forget the species name of that Opuntia, I have a few myself. Its a very tasty one though
