I was looking through some old photos when I came across this cactus — tall, straight, and standing with a very strong presence.
The structure made me think it was a species of the Cereus genus, perhaps Cereus jamacaru or a closely related columnar cactus.
This type of cactus fascinates me because it can survive in very little, but still survives with a beauty of its own — as if the sun and time had created a natural sculpture.
Although its flowers are rarely seen, its structure alone tells us how strong and silent it is — an invisible guardian of the desert.

Cactus are actually very beautiful and I read they are mostly found in deserts prolly because I have not gone to any deserts is why I haven't seen any.
Your photos are sharp
Cheers
Thanks bro! Yes, cactus is a really great plant — with great ability to survive and also a unique beauty. You are right, most cactus are found in deserts, but some species can survive in hot humid climates. I have never been to a desert either, so our experience is almost the same. Glad to hear you liked the pictures! Cheers!

Thank you!
You are welcome
Los cactus no son tan difíciles de cultivar, pero si de manipular, por las pequeñas espinas.
You're absolutely right! The little thorns on a cactus are really hard to handle 😅 – I've been bitten by them a few times too! But their beauty and resilience make it all worth it. Do you grow cactus yourself?
