friends cacti id

[lampy]

just went to an old friends house on the weekend and found that they had just started a mexican style garden with lots of great cacti. i got one cutting off a huge plant (3+ mtrs tall and 25cm thick)

just wondering if anyone can identify it. Is it active?

Hi lampy,

this looks like a cereus or Stenocereus. You gotta help me to decide guys, i had too much wine for breakfast. bye Eg

Evil Genius the wine-o is correct I think, some sort of Stenocereus.

thanks apothecary and evil genius

after looking at lots of Stenocereus pics across the net is seems to be very similar

it is going to make a great addition to my garden, damn spiky though

Oh yeah just to answer your other question, there is a possibility of some Stenocereus being active. Search cardon on the cactus forums.

thanks apothecary...due to it´s current hiccup the wine-o has learnt it´s lessions that he just isn´t suited for drinking..... bye

Nothin' wrong with being a wine-o, as long as it doesn't interfere with your cactus identification skills
