| Found this at garage sale yesterday:
The soil is totally dry, container doesn't have drainage hole (at least they didn't overwater). Is the tall one cereus peruvianus?
#1: there are 2 identical plants, reddish in color (grown dry & sunny?)- is it Haworthia?

#2: 
#3:

| The tall one seems to be Cereus tetragonus. This is the plant you find labeled 'Fairy Castle' in the monstrous form. |
|
| #1is Haworthia #3 looks like echeveria hybrid |
|
| Thank you D, thank you Inna. Rina |
|
| Is the barely alive rosette fuzzy? It resembles Echeveria pulvinata var. frigida 'Frosty' to me. |

| Aww... Rina, do they have anymore ? Talk about a good deal and being at the right place at the right time. |

| Rina, Outstanding purchase!!! I'd have to have bought it for the sheer oddity of finding such a score, never mind the fact that I never collected that Cereus if given the chance in a small pot of it for sale. |

| Colleen; that little rosette is really fuzzy, I think it will live. It is tiny, has a really long stem (they probably had it for a long time) and there are few dead stems too. Thank you for the ID, I googled it & it looks very much like that. Greg, Jeff, I'll just drill the drainage hole & use the same bowl. Maybe even keep them together - first have to research their growing needs. Rina Rina |

| Rina, If you find the drilling a little hard going on the drill bit, use some water dribbled onto the hole while drilling. Timing is everything, sometimes. |

| Nice haul for excellent price, Rina! Just adding that I don't believe there is such a thing as var. frigida. It's just Echeveria pulvinata 'Frosty'. |
|
| Oh good! Glad it's a fit. And Rosemarie, did not know! Will fix that in my notes. |
|
| Jeff, thank you for the drilling tip. Rosemarie, thank you for ID clarification. Rina |
