Love this pic - so otherworldly. But what a thing to back into! The desert must not be a place for us myopics.

This is definately the most unpleasant cactus that I have ever come in contact with,
backward, forward or sideways.

I think I just ordered one. I was told it was a cholla and this is the closest image to what it looks like. Now seeing that you said it was the most unpleasant cactus you have ever come in contact with..Well I want it even more now. Something about a plant that bites back...
