    Looking to get some common and scientific names for a couple cacti I purchased a few years back.

    The two larger ones seem more common but can't find exact matched online but the thin smaller one I can't find anything that looks similar but the growth habit looks like a euphorbia of some kind.

    Thanks!

    I think #2 is a short-spined form of Trichocereus spachianus.

    That is the one I was thinking of, I am just not sure if that form name is accepted.
