The "Random Senita" may be a Lophocereus gatesii. It is thinner, with more ribs, and as can be seen in your image is more tender than L. schottii.

Did you find a name for the Yucca on pic. 9?

Hi 72˚, Lo 42˚

Interesting, Thanks Tom..

Not quite sure on the Yucca..  Looks familiar, but name is escaping me at the moment.

Wonderful pictures and gorgeous scenery. How old do you think the Trichocereus terscheki will be? Looking at my 1" baby like plant I don't think I will see this as big as this one.  And all these nice barrels.

Tough to say.. Imagine these are at least 15+ years old ( Probably a low - end estimate, lol ) Have heard they speed up after reaching roughly 2 ft in height though.. Able to add a foot or so/ year under ideal conditions. In cultivation, good light, regular water, -by cactus standards- ( say a good soak a couple times during the summer ) and applying fertilizer during the summer ( High K < Potassium >, low Nitrogen ) helps speed them up as well.
