Hi Tony, don't know you first plant... second one is a Cleistocactus, the bottom one may be Cleistocactus (Seticereus) icosagonus, some juvenile species of Haageocereus that look like this as well.

Finally!!!
After waiting 8 years I finally get another clue to what this is.
unfortunately the images from the original post above are long gone, but I was able to find another one taken back in 2006. I planted this in one of my first outdoor beds, then it was moved to a pot to protect it from soccer, basket balls and bike tires after just a few years.
Here it is now. Its full of buds and they look like they are ready to pop. I will check on it through the night to see if there is any movement.
Anyone care to take a stab at an ID?

Re: culumners
OK I will go out on a limb, certainly S. American and probably a Haageocereus, but will wait to see the flowers!

Re: culumners
Sweet! I'd say definitely Haageocereus, probably H. versicolor. The one floating around without prominent centrals and golden-colored spines has usually been ascribed to H. versicolor var. aureispinus.
Re: culumners
Wow. An oldie but goodie!
Re: culumners
I have always thought haageocereus and if i remember correctly, Tristan, you believed it to be H versicolor the last time you visited. But I didn't want to really commit until I saw the flowers. As of this morning they were still closed up, but perhaps they will be open when I get home from work in a few hours. Still waiting to see them!

Re: culumners
Here's a shot at the flower on mine for comparison when yours open up.
Beautiful plant regardless! I sure wish Haageocereus were a bit more floriferous, but I guess it makes us appreciate them more when they finally do produce!

Re: culumners
Don't forget some of the Haageocereus can be quite tall Cerei therefore you would not always expect them to flower as very small plants until they gain some altitude. For instance Haageocereus acranthus:-
"Stems: Green erect or curving or upright, to 1-2(-3) m tall, 7-10 cm in diameter"
Probably the flowering stem on Tony's plant is the shortest you could expect it to flower for that type of upright Haageocereus?

Re: culumners
Haageocereus is quite a poorly studied genus it seems, but some of them have a prostrate growing style, while others are more columnar. Nonetheless, Tony's plant sure seems to be a Haageocereus.
Re: culumners
Thanks for the image Tristan!
Still waiting over here.

Re: culumners
Looks like Haageovereus to me. Here is the flower: http://cactusaficionado.blogspot.com/20 ... stele.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
My plant also forms rings of buds on stem's top: http://cactusaficionado.blogspot.com/20 ... color.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - same plant.
Not sure which species is mine - I have apparently posted two pics of the same plant with two different names. The seeds were labeled pseudomelanostele.

Re: culumners
Well, of coarse I missed it! flowers only open fully for maybe 8 hours?
Here it was late afternoon the 26. and the next morning about 7 am. Haggeocereus is it and I think versicolor v. aureispinus is a good bet.
Thanks for the input everyone.
