1. Echinocereus pentalophus

2&3. My guess is these two are Echinobivia ’Rainbow Burst’. A hybrid between Echinopsis and Lobivia. I have a few Rainbow Burst and they aren’t the most exciting looking cactus, but they sure do make up for that once they flower. The flowers are big and colorful.

4. Echinopsis chamaecereus aka peanut cactus.

5. Echinocereus viereckii subs. morricalii such a unique looking cactus with gorgeous flowers.

6. Matucana madisoniorum var. horridispina OMG that last pic of that huge Matucana is amazing. That specimen must be pretty old, very cool.

I don't have a clue what they are but very pretty! As far as growth habits, I have Peaches & Cream and Maya and both are slow growers for me...They are hardy outside here but never seem to get near the size of, or bloom as much as the non-variegateds. The one's I have in the ground are twards the front of the border since they seem to stay much shorter. I dug up a P&C last fall that'd been in the ground for 2 years and was amazed at how small the root system was on it...It could just be me or my zone or something, but from reading previous posts here and my experience, I'd think the variegateds are probably in the "least-vigorous brug" category.

Thanks Kousa- I'll keep those in mind. I think I will have to wait till it puts out more blooms next year and see if it chooses one style (anemone) or the other (bomb) to bloom mainly- then decide.

They’re really cool flowers! I’ve had it for three yrs and this is the first time it has bloomed. That big one in your above pics must be decades old, it’s such a slow grower.
