Help with identification

Post by neirda21 »

Hi,

I was very lucky to discover the Botanical Garden in The Canaries, in particular the Cacti part.
I took a lot of pictures, but for these two pictures, I'm not sure of their name.
I think the first one is Echinopsis thelegona, and the second Echinocereus cinarescens. Do you agree with this ?

Any help is welcome... Thank you

O, yes, this one looks like Echinocereus cinerascens, but it could be an E. enneacanthus as well. Both have variants or subspecies that look quite similar to me.

That volcanic soil is perfect for cacti there.
If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.
