TheMooseZeus Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I always see this cactus on my way home and it's always flowering and looks amazing! I was wondering if someone might know what it is? Sorry for the terrible photo quality :/ Thanks all! Much love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MountainGoat Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 yeah, you'll have to get a better photo if you want an accurate ID. If you really want an ID, get a shots of the flower and the areoles... p.s when you say its "always flowering", do you really mean "always"? Like it flowers in winter also? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 TheMooseZeus Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) Every time a i walk past it, it seems to have a few new flowers on it. At least for the past 5-6 or so months. Im sure "always" is an exaggeration! There any many similar looking cacti in my area but this always gets my attention because its the only one i see flowering. I'll take some pics tomorrow Edited February 23, 2018 by TheMooseZeus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Halcyon Daze Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) See how the flowers in the first pic aren't hairy (covered in trichomes) that's how you know it isn't a Trichocereus which basically means 'hairy cactus' (referring to the flowers). The thin-ish ribs will also tell you that it's a Cereus, a nice short-spine one. Edited March 1, 2018 by Halcyon Daze 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MountainGoat Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 +1 on the Halcyon ID... Nice looking cereus too... anyone know which species it is? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 TheMooseZeus Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 This plant is quite beaten up, there are some in my area which are probably as tall as my house and almost as wide. Its crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
