short spined bridgessii?

[Prophet]

I have several bridgessii plants with quite well developed spines. I was wondering are there any spineless or short spined variants out there? Just curious. If so has anyone got pics?

Eileen appears fairly spinless as a mature specimen, or atleast thats my observations.

Yeah I have a spineless variety that may possibly be a hybrid.

Short spined varieties aren't really varieties as far as I can tell, i.e. a short spined might grow long spined and vice versa given the correct change in conditions.

Here is the spineless variety, although when I posted it for ID some people said they also had it and that it sometimes grew spines depending on sun.

And I guess this thread answers the part of your question that I didn't

Hey apothecary, what do you ID the third guy back on the right as? Looks like my 'short spined peruvianus', but of late it seems that's a term MS Smith coined - so what is it really? Do you have a better pic?

Yet another unidentifiable pachanoi/peru/macro complex? I just leave specimens like that labelled as Trichocereus sp.
