I was in San Antonio Texas Monday after Easter the 12 April and saw a Cacti Almost like this Rat-Tail Cactus with the exception it was square, not round and was in close to 24 inch lengths connected to another length and it was climbing up a tree. Is anyone familiar with that type cacti, the blooms were similar to this also
