Help Id'ing My Cacti Please?

[ntwhtyouknw]

I just received 3 cuttings in the mail, they were sold to me as San Pedro (Pachanoi), but what threw me off is the monsterous spines on these guys. Maybe they are Pedro only I have never seen a San Pedro with such giant pricklys. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If I had to guess those look like peruvian torch, so they're still active.

Yea, I for some reason have had awful luck in the past with finding a Peruvian that had enough alkaloids. Maybe these will be different. Could they perhaps be a hybrid?

Perhaps, there are so many hybrids that I'll never be able to keep track of them all.

 

[ntwhtyouknw]

Hmm, none the less they are very beautiful. I E-mailed the vendor with photos inquiring about it, so I will see what he can say for them. He may exchange them, but now I'm just so curious about them. I haven't seen even Peruvian Torch with spines that long.

 

[ntwhtyouknw]

Ok cool, so they are torches. He just called and apologized and told me he is mailing the Pedros to me and an extra label to mail these back, he even said I can keep one for the trouble. How awesome is that? I'm sold on this vendor, I am pleased.

nice looking plant, grow it out and share cuttings

Will do, I'm keeping the one with the most massive thorns to root, I'm starting to think it might be a Macrogonus.

it DID seem to be thicker, despite the fact it was shorter, though it could just be a smaller cutting from a bigger cactus...
either way though... its a very nice specimen

 

[ntwhtyouknw]

It is quite beautiful, I have heard bad things about the potency of Macros though, who knows for sure regardless it will be nice to have, and also I suppose it could be quite potent I shouldn't knock it.

Very good looking cacti! Deff taking cuttings. If your going to experiment with cacti get a bridgesii cutting also
