Cleistocactus? and Browningia

Post by dmcac »

Hello! I have quite a bit of cacti that were bought as "cactus" only. I tried to identify some of them but have doubts if I am on the right track. I would appreciate any opinion on species/genus of the following 3 plants.
Thanks ahead!
My tentative identifications:
1. Cleistocactus strausii
2. Cleistocactus winteri
3. Browningia hertlingiana

1 and 2 both look to be C. straussii. No 2 is etiolated

Both 1&2 reminds Cleistocacti, 1st strausii and 2nd hyalacanthus a bit, but correct species name will be more clever to definite at more elder age.
3rd name OK.

PS plant them separately when it's not too late.
