I went to a local nursery of sorts for cactus. I took pics of a lot of the more neet ones that i thought looked trichocereus and some that were just neet that i wanted to know the name of. I was curious if ya'll could help ID these plants.

Picture 6 and 7 shows what i believe he called Trichocereus Scopulicola.

Picture 11 (picture 3 on the second post) shows a super rare columnar called Neobuxbaumia tetetzos. Only a few people in the state have one. Im hoping to obtain one myself. Here is more info -> http://www.redcanyondesert.com/cactus-succ.html

Wow! If you keep up your current rate of procuring cacti, you're gonna have to buy a bigger house soon!!

HEH i have a whole backyard to landscape up. I plan on making my backyard a mini desert botanical garden with labels and everything.

First pic is a peruvianus.

I didn't see any scopulicolis in any of the pics.

Google the name and look at the images.

i did

That does not look right to me.

I actually have a cutting of this species with me right now...
Damn, my phone froze while uploading this. I need one of the photos deleted.

This is a typical scop, they tend to be very unique.

well if these arent scopulicolis or cordobensis.. what do you think they are....

I do not know much at all about cordobensis, I think Mike Smith actually made that name up... though i am not certain.

Maybe it is a cordobensis, I really would not know.

Here is some information about that:

Pictures six and seven look like a PC Pachanoi... That variegated one looks like a T. Spachianus and that Pachanoi in picture 3 looks SEXY!

Agreed.

I have never seen anything quite like it.
I would love to learn more about it.

Edited to add, my bad, I was confused, it is the plant in the second photo that strikes me as amazingly unique and I am very curious about what it is.

Looks like a Pachanoi cross with some sort of Echinopsis? The areoles are very unique.

Yeah, I think that is a good guess...

the rib count is pretty high, you do not often see that.

Those plants in the second to last picture are mother of millions. Those are pretty bad weeds. I wouldn't let those near any of your other pots or outside if I were you or else you wont be able to get rid of them. (Personally I would just throw them away before they spread)

Yeah, 6 and 7 do not look like scopulicola to me. Typically scop is spineless and very wide. Looks PCish, but a lot of pach kinda does.

That's because a lot of Pachanoi are of the PC variety.

Either way,that place looks funtastic! You are lucky to have such a place nearby. I am not so fortunate. Luckily I've stumbled across one hell of a community.

That's for sure EZ. Lots of PC floating around. I too wish I had a cacti nursery of that magnitude near me.

My guess is T. Spachianus as well but im curious if that yellowing is because it a variegated type or if its just from some sort of growing condition that will grow out with proper conditions?

Picture 3 is an under-watered scopulicola according to the nursery owner. He told me that they get big an puffy like the pictures AbertKLoyd posted. The nursery owner showed me heavily watered scopulina and they were big and puffy. He assured me they are the same plants as picture 3.

I had a feeling, but wasn't certain. I still have to get my hands on a Scopulicola. I hear great things about them.

Interesting, it does look closer to scop than anything else depicted and sometimes stressed scop does have spines like that, though often they are so small that they appear absent.
