Opinions Please.

Question

This plant was unloved and sick when I found it. It once was quite large with 10 or so columns that had died and rotted away. The owner gave me the whole plant, which I really could not take. It was cut back and should rejuvenate nicely and these are the healthiest tips off the dying branches. Its a very unique plant IMO.

first 4 are bridgesoid imo.

number 5 is without a boubt T. peruvianus aka T rosei, you lucky lucky son of a gun :D, very rare to just stumble upon that.

6 and 7 look to be regular T pach and number 7 is a very pretty crestate echinopsis.

What state of the country are these fine specimens located if you dont mind me asking?

Excellent find saibot :D

Yeah they are really my pics. 1st 3 are taken with a digital SLR, others are taken with HD video camera (thats why everything is in focus)

The 1st bridgesiodish plant was a chance find (I think it drew me to it to help). It really broke my heart to see it in such a dismal state.
