If no one comes up with something before I check again, I'll do some digging. Can't I.D. either on first sight. Sorry!

Nice presents though!

Jim, it would be great if people decided to leave cacti on MY doorstep

Like they said on the HPS board, I think the second one is some type of Cereus. I'm also not sure about the first one.

not sure what they are but don't appear hardy. Perhaps they'll leave a coconut palm next time!

Yes,I think Antti correctly identified the bigger one as Cereus Peruvianus F.Monstrosa.

The other could be very leggy or maybe it just grows like that....not sure how much light they were getting....

Evidently enough as the Cereus looks right.

This plant is 40+ years old-someone said it may be worth some $$$$$

It would be awesome if I could sell it for enough to get a new road bicycle

Nice bike, is that carbon-fiber?

Yes.

I believe it was 15.8 pounds and was rock solid at 58mph!

Down hill
