I guess someone has already told Daiv that the link in his e-mail message is wrong?

Now that there are not one, but two pics of columnar Euphorbias in this thread, does that mean that it's now just "Columnars" and not "Columnar Cacti?"

For lack of a better specimen, I hereby enter what was determined to be the ubiquitous Cereus peruvianus cv. nudum.

, i.e. lacking spines.

Beware!!! ...this trollii guards the gate to cactcuspolecat castle. To pass, he demands that you correctly answer three obscure riddles, you must also bend over backwards and touch your toes, and make him an offering of batwing crisps garnished with fried gnats! ...if you fail the test he will feed you to his pet Tassie devil!!
