|   Does anyone know what this is? This is the first time i have seen the flowers and have had the plant for about 4 years. The flowers feel succulent. The column has grown spines in the last year too. Thanks! |

| Euphorbia mammillaris 'variegata', we called it 'corn cob' which I think is an accepted common name.
That's a really nice plant, the photo of the flowers looks great. |

| Okay, looks like we lost the last few posts. Someone asked what the cactus was behind the bridgesii. Heres a few pics. I think it is an Opuntia, an ID would be great. I got the cutting from a TAFE garden that was being cleared years ago. Very painful spines.    . |

| Opuntia tunicata? Not totally sure, am not that familiar with the genjus, but I think I have one of those also.
