Just bought these locally today. The first one I'm thinking might be a Sulcorebutia, based solely on the elongated areoles. But could it possibly be some kind of Echinopsis? The second one I have no idea about. The tallest stalk might be a different variety of the same cactus planted in the same pot. Its spines are thinner and white, compared to the shorter, darker ones on the other two columns. Thanks in advance for any ideas you may have.

Catch a falling star--but don't try it with a cactus!
Thanks, teo. I just checked it and that's definitely the genus/species. I was a bit disappointed to read that it's hard to get it to flower. The blurb suggests detaching several pups so that the strength will go into producing a flower instead of the offsets.

Yes, I have one (now several) that is always producing pups - and the pups produce more pups - but still no flowers.
