Hi Bruno.

I think your peruvian torch is a Trichocereus bridgesii. Lovely spines!

Possibly G. taningaense?

mm yes that does seem to fit more, thanks!

This was started by my grandfather ~1970.

Mammillaria klissingiana perhaps?

cheers, Len.

Looking like a pachanoi to me.

Interesting, thanks.

I recently thought micropore tape could be useful for keeping grafts in place, but the problems with it arose when removing the tape. It tended to take the top skin off the graft.. but a lesson learnt!

Ta folks.

So..
#1 Thelocactus rinconensis
#2 Lobivia aracnacantha

How about Gymnocalycium anisitsii/damsii for #3?

Stunning!

Awesome link, cheers!

I'd say it is a cereus of some kind, peruvianus? Not a trichocereus..

This koehresii taproot is rather beastly :
