All look like Cereus except the one in the last two pictures which appears to be Trichocereus.

[mac]

i thought the last one looked a little like huanucoensis but im crap at ID's

[Teotzlcoatl]

The one in the last two pictures may even be "Blue Myrtle" cactus.

I'd cut it off and stick it in a pot.

Get a better picture of that one too.

Those last blue tipped look a lot like myrtillocactus...

[kakti]

First and second look like some type of Stenocereus. Third is probably Myrtillocactus geometrizans.

The tallest of the first two is well over 5 foot tall, it was much bigger until some prick jumped the fence & cut the top off as you see its only growing in a shallow tub

Shorter of the two is a nice fat looking cactus id love one of the smaller pups to put in the ground & see how big it would grow.

But the last one was a interesting the short spines (almost spineless) & look caught my eye

The lady said she had never had a cactus like it before it just popped up in the middle of one she has had for many years

I'd cut it off and stick it in a pot.

not my cactus & even if it was i doubt i could bring myself to cutting it, it must be a seed that has somehow remained dormant over many years ? hard to say where it came from, she did give me a pup from this one so it will be interesting to grow & further & see if it fruits

here are a couple of the cuttings i got while i was there, The first was the one the suspected Myrtillocactus came up in so it was a little hard to get in & get a better pic because it was surrounded by big ass spines

This bloke she affectionately calls killer its funny how happy she was to find someone else interested in cacti, i happily went home with several pups & cuttings i did not have to ask for

thanks for the help everyone it gave me somewhere to start my search

so far i have tried to get a better idea of ID's & have come up with this from species mentioned in this thread & reference pictures online & have come up with these links

the first one http://i686.photobucket.com/albums/vv228/mac440/DSCF0003.jpg

going from a old reference pic of spines only it could be Stenocereus weberi synonym of Pachycereus weberi (Cardón Espinoso, Candelabro) http://www.desert-tropicals.com/Plants/Cac...eus_weberi.html

or guess #2 Stenocereus pruinosus (Gray Ghost Organ Pipe, Pitayo) http://www.desert-tropicals.com/Plants/Cac..._pruinosus.html

the second one http://i686.photobucket.com/albums/vv228/mac440/DSCF0004.jpg not sure looks a little like Stenocereus thurberi ( Pitahaya Dulce) http://www.desert-tropicals.com/Plants/Cac...s_thurberi.html but i could be way off on this one

the last one looks very much like a Myrtillocactus geometrizans http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myrtillocactus_geometrizans
