So the girlfreind convinced me to go to walmart superstore and i was delighted to find a couple of familiar looking cactus in there garden centre. I had also spotted a cactus at grandmas the day before that looked familiar as well so i had grabbed a cutting of that as soon as i got her to ok it. im guessing ive got 5 Trichocereus, maybe 3 panchio and 2 cuzcoensis or torches, i dono im hoping they are all active..... i saw some 14 inch ones similar to the ones with the long needles at the greenhouse i went to today, if these are a + id ill be rushing out to snatch them up. its weird ive been looking for these cactus for years and bam all at once a run of them, or what i think is them...
thanks for your input and help.

first one is myrtillocactus geometrizans, second one stetsiona coryne. Not sure about last one..
Actually I think it may be a San Pedro.

Last one appears to be Pachanoid of some kind I believe.... 7 ribs, short spines... Not the LONG ribs like Cereus Peruvianus has, but the shorter ones.... Seems like a San Pedro to me....

Nice plants! Like others have said, first pic is Myrtillocactus geometrizans, second is Stetsonia coryne and the third appears to be a pachanoid with some nice spines.

I think they're all myrtillos and stetsonias.
Although the rib formation on the last one resembles a pachanoid, the spines and areoles do not at all IMO
Also how they kind of stick out, very typical of myrtles, pachs tend to point upward

Last one is a myrtillo, I'm sure of it. The spines, the shape of the ribs and the blueish colour give it away.

Thanks for the help so im reading the Stetsonia coryne is active in ways so thats cool. yeah the last one is definately a big question, it doesnt have the v above the needle sites so i dono, i have read tasteing a small amount of flesh can sometimes help since it taste alkaloid riden. to bad about the others. man cactus id is tricky stuff.

Dont waste your time with the stetsonia, the alkaloid count is so minuscule you'd need a good mile until you felt something.
The last is a myrtle, just has a very interesting structure.
Keep them and grow them, both end up looking really cool with age.
Also check out my ID guide

It is a strange beast isn't it. That's why I said "appears" as the ribs are quite beefy and it comes across as a pach but then the spines are kinda weird for that too.

To be fair though, that's as close to a pedro as it gets without being a scop. A lot of people post some really cereus pics and ask if it's pedro.
