Two Needing a Name Please

Post by Tiggy »

These two are really doing my head in! The first one I bought back in 2012 and have been patiently waiting to try and identify her. I have seen several possibilities but am no nearer to a positive ID so have decided to post for :help: Sorry to post so many shots of her but thought it would make it more probable of a correct ID. I've put seven views of this one and then there is another one that I have had for at least 18 months and can't work out what it is. Hope someone can recognise them.

Here it is reverting back to it's original form I think, but it still continues to crest nicely.

Sorry to upload so many shots but thought it would help with and ID. and I think it's time that they had a name rather than just a number :sad10: Thank you in anticipation

#2 looks like something from the Echinopsis group.

Really? That's an option that never entered my head. :-k It's never produced nor even suggested that it would like to produce blooms which is why I have waited so long to ask for help. Thank you for the idea "tumamoc"

I think I have found a match for no.2 (maybe wrong but there you go) Could it be a Lobivia rauschii? :-k
