Cactus ID please

Question

Afternoon all out there in plantland. Got these customers in a tub out the front, happy little cactus world of their own (quite a zen thing arranging those stones starting with tiny tile types between the miniliths) Pinched the bits from a mate's place originally, they're growing quite happily. The rounded, starry ones with the white flowers (golf ball or pickle shaped hting) are Mammilaria gracilis (maybe?) if google images serves me correctly, the 5 ribbed one is the mystery. Any ideas?

btw those rocks are help up by a wire mesh setup, upside down U section with holes cut for the cactus, avoids them settling down or squashing the air out of the mix too much. Don't call me royal society for the prevention of cruelty to cactoids on me :P

take care

GD

gracilis for sure, as for the other... some sort of Myrtillo perhaps? Look like a fishhook gone straight :huh:

Hi GD, looks like Stenocereus. But the spines are very big for that size. bye Eg

Cheers for the fast replies guys, I'll check em out. Got some more today but they're too scabby for a clean ID. Gotta go waterwise haha.

thanks again

Looks a lot like a Stetsonia.
