1. Ariocarpus retusus
2. Lophophora diffusa
3. Astrophytum ornatum
4. copiapoa sp.
5. a tall one

Ariocarpus sp
Loph Sp
Astro Ornatum
no idea
some sort of cereus?

Im hopeless with cacti names.

I would have agreed with lewis, except to take a guess with #5 and say T. Bridgii

your guess is better than mine (but it is a 'tall one').. i'm a total columnar noob.

I could be wrong, I'm not an expert at tall things, but the cereus I have seen are normally short spines. Bridgesii are out there with their deadly spines.

pretty good so far guys - although you are on the wrong track for 5 - heres a nother pic of 5

Tricocereus Peruvianus?

Mine has a bite like a dingo when it spines me...

1 - Ariocarpus retusus




2 Lophophora diffusa





3 Astrophytum ornatum





4 Copiapoa echinoides

5

Damn,
would never have guessed a

Myrtillocactus schenckii

how did you get it?

Myrtilocactus are cool

Process of elimination

It wasn't one of the usual suspects, so you had to be displaying something more sneaky.

my next guess was going to be a blossfeldia

Actually I have to admit noticing the logo on your picture and then trawled the site until I found it - only took 25 minutes.

But I got to look at a lot of nice tall cacti lol

funny that I did the same thing
