#1 feels like pilosocereus pachycladus

Thanks for the replies.
P. pachycladus isn't suposed to have yellow spination and blue body? Or they can vary?
Maybe I'll have to wait a little more to ID them.
Thanks

No.1 might be some kind of trichocereus, No.2 looks like a porcupine.

Maybe Echinopsis (Trichocereus) candicans for #1 ?

Good track, Teo, it really looks like the young T. candicans here:

The second really looks like a porcupine, you are right Tofterigen. :lol:
