are these cacti bridgesii?

Shroomzion · 10-06-09, 08:01

i found these cacti on one of my walks around the neigborhood.
and i was wondering if any of them are bridgesii?
they both have thorns so i think they are not pedros but what do i know...

buteo · 10-06-09, 08:35

well bridgesii has very long spines...getting up to 4 inches + , so judging by the picure it looks to have short spines, though i am unsure id prob say no.

the second one is not a trichocereus. the first one looks more like a cereus and not a trichocereus as well, but i'd need a closer pic of this one.

From a distance they both look like cereus peruvianus to me (not active).
Nice specimens though, the big one looks like its about to be covered in flowers.

Yes that is a beautiful cactus thats about to flower please take pics of it in flower for us to see if you can.

Shroomzion · 10-08-09, 05:30

damn

i was sure the tall one was active...
i saw it was chopped in several places, so i thought maybe someone was anjoying this cacti already

no matter, i know i will find a good one soon

i think i know wher to find more candidates in my area.

and i will take a pic of the flowering cacti as soon as i get over there again...

thanx you all for your answers

Irishlion · 10-08-09, 05:47

the first pic looks like it could be a Cercus Peruvianus as burger said but, I am pretty sure its a Stenocereus possibly a Stenocereus victoriensis or Stenocereus griseus and the second pic I am about 90% postive its a Stenocereus marginatus but, without upclose pics its very hard to tell what the cactus actually is, any way you could be better upclose pics?

however they diffently aren't a Trichocereus species

Agree, and the reason i agree is the flat ribs.

god speed little one

Shroomzion · 11-15-09, 16:09

ok, so i found these little guy's at a local nursery...
both are the same kind' what ever it is, and the long spines lead me to think they are bridgessii.
could it be?

Irishlion · 11-15-09, 23:01

whats the color of those spines? As those really look like a trichocereus chalaensis FR1052 or a trichocereus Chilensis

would help to have better pics though without the grow light as its hard to tell the color of the spines and the areoles but, i don't think those are bridgesii too many spines per areole however I could be mistaken. They diffently look like a trichocereus SP though perhaps a trichocereus chilensis.

Trichocereus Chilensis

Shroomzion · 11-16-09, 01:47

well i cant say te spines are blue...
here is a better pic

Irishlion · 11-16-09, 02:31

Shroomzion · 11-16-09, 02:47
