Cactus 1 & 2 are definately Myrtillocactus geometrizans. Number 3 is most likely a young Pachycereus marginatus, but I'm not positive on that one. Number 4 I'm pretty sure is Pilosocereus pachycladus.

DO you think number three is a Cereus valadus? looks very similer just found some pics.

Yes, I think that C. validus is probably a better guess than P. marginatus. You'll know for sure when it gets bigger. Cereus can grow really fast and that one might decide to bloom as early as five years. You'll need to have a big enough pot and enough room for it somewhere. They definately like to be able to streach out their roots.
