    Hi everyone,

    I'm kind of new here and was wondering if anyone could help me identify the following cacti. I'm trying to find out if they're San Pedro, Peruvian Torch, Hybrids, or a combination of the aforementioned. I've got a couple of pics which I'd like to share with you. Please take note that there's one that looks quite different compared to the rest. Its colour is slightly more blue'ish, and its thorns look quite different as well, wheres the rest are all of the green'ish variation (I figure). This one had been uprooted/unrooted for quite some time, and was lying on the ground when I had found it. I don't know if that explains its different characteristics (I doubt it). Maybe they're two different types altogether (what I'm thinking).

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thank you,

    N.

    P.S. If you guys need more pics, please let me know. Some are a bit out of focus and I apologise for that! If I went a bit crazy with the uploads, please excuse me. I just really need to know what cacti these are.

    The blue one is a Bridgesii through and through, The color, number of spines in the areole, shape of the areole, and length of the spines say it all. The greener might be a hydrbid of sorts but It looks awful identical to a t. Cuzcoensis. I wouldn't even bother with the greener one.
