Cacti #1


Cacti #2


Cacti #3

 Astrophytum Myriostigma
Cacti #4


Cacti #5


Cacti #6

 Maybe browningia?
Cacti #7


 Possible Bridgesii? doesnt look like a myrtle at all.
Cacti #8

 Had no pot, was on shelf without soil, i know what the stock is, whats the guy on top?

I payed 99cents for each cacti, at a 99cent store!!! Was surprised to see a bishops cap and possibly a bridgesii there. Walked out for less than 10$, the lady even sold me the soilless graft for 50cents. She looked at it and me weird when she was ringing me up, I told her I felt bad for it and wanted to save its life.
gracias for any ID's.

thanks felix.
when i saw #1 i thought it might be a button cacti of some sort. coryphanthis (sp?) popped into mind.
the pilosocereus reminded me of a pedro.
u sure thats a myrtillo? ive been contemplating it since i bought it 10 or so days ago, it really doesnt look like one, though it IS extremely blue. your probably right tho with my luck.
in the last pic i shined a blue light on it to make it even bluer.

i passed through a town on my way from work, in northern california, and happened to see the myriostigma there first, and then became interested when i saw what looked like a bridgesii and a shit ton of other cacti that caught my attention.
ill look up some of the cactus mentioned, see if any are good for grafting etc.
cant believe what a good deal i got on em, ima go back there in the next week or two when i have a day off, and see what they have in stock.
the home depot here sucks, walmart usually has a good selection if i wanna pay 4$ a cactus, and im surprised to see any at all at the dollar store but if thats the case ill make more regular trips there.
