The first pic look like a Trichocereus Scopulicolis, but with some varying growth patterns...

The second, some form of Cereus ? Judging by the protruding ribs...

Is the top a Bunnings purchase? I got one just like it recently.

I'm no cacti expert though, and someone who is will probably chime in soon and correct me.

I thought the same at first, but the spination on the lower half looks much more like pachanoi, and I would be betting that the top half is just malformed (possibly a snail bite at the tip within the previous year). Agree on the cereus.

I reckon #1 are scops and #2 are cereus, but I am no expert !

#1 looks very similar to some scops I got from ebay.
