Giant Cactus

I went to my Aunt's house in Marikina and noticed this gigantic cactus.

It grew as tall as their roof.

Being the cactus-addict that I am, I asked for some cuttings. I like arranging my small cacti with bigger ones to create variety and focal point. I found out that this plant is called a Hedge Cactus or Cereus Hildmannianus, originally from Brazil. We were very careful in taking few branches off because the spines were long and thick like a needle.

 I went home happy with my new prickly friends. I can't wait to see them bloom. My aunt said they blossom with lovely white flowers.
