Hey! So there's a thread for Ebay finds i thought we should have one for Bunnings finds

Hey all! I picked theses guys up in Bunnings not too long ago and they seem to be coming along well! Im sure they're quite specific cultivars but was wondering if i could get an ID 1. 2. Cheers guys!

Surprised there's no Bunnings sticky, was going to post in the eBay/gumtree thread but figured Bunnings is all nursery stuff (albeit poorly named ,-) Anyway, don't see much in Bunnings, and the larger stuff tends to go quick so was surprised to see 100+ $5 pots today in my local today (Alexandria) Most were well named and easily ID confirmed except for the one on the leafy and right below: The 2 on the right say "Blue Torch" but I'm guessing the one on the right might be a peruvianus? The one on the left just says "Cactus" I was kinda hoping its a Saguaro, but have never seen a baby to know? Thanks

What is the coolest plant or item you have found at bunnings? I found a 25 cm san pedro for 14 dollars once.

The ongoing controversy of bunnings occasionally selling cacti such as T. Peruvianus and T. Pachanoi has been reported by a number of members on these forums, elsewhere on the internet and within some social networks I'm aware of. Would proof that Bunnings sells legally questionable cacti within Australia put a spanner in the works for future cases where individuals were being accused of possessing the same species? If so, and if it is is deemed an appropriate thing to do? I propose evidence of the availability of T. Peruvianus and T. Pachanoi be collated in this thread for future use of any individual/s facing unreasonable persecution for their gardening interests. If you have photographic evidence of said species being sold in Bunnings, please post them here along with the date and state where the photos were taken. Additionally if you know someone (who isn't you) that has purchased one of these cacti, please post a photograph of the receipt and the cacti together (cash receipts only or receipts where any personally identifiable information is obscured). I look forward to hearing your opinions on the matter and some substantiation of the numerous claims that have been thrown around over the years.
