Hello everyone!
Im doing my best to identify my collection on my own and im trying to keep my id posts to a minimum.
Im not quite sure what those 2 are. Any help is appreciated.
The first is some sort of monstrose. Im guessing with some certainty it's a cereus peruvianus.
New growth on the 2nd cactus is very bluish so im guessing it's a piloscereus. Am i right?
As always, thanks for any input!

Yes, I would call the first one Cereus peruvianus monstrose. Less sure of the second one - Pilosocereus chrysostele?

As always thanks for your help! I found a species that is new to me but looks the same: "Micranthocereus auri-azureus". I can see the azureua part. I found it on this page. It's number 163greenknight wrote:Yes, I would call the first one Cereus peruvianus monstrose. Less sure of the second one - Pilosocereus chrysostele?

It looks like a Pilosocereus, perhaps P. chrysostele, to me
