I have this cactus for 5 years ( 3 years in the pot and 2 years in the ground), and it has shown the incredible thing that I have never thought about. Hopefully, it will be what it should be in few days.

Can you guess what it is?

Crazy! I've seen mutated flowers, but I don't know if I've seen them on a Cereus before.

wow those are weird.
Some of those montroses or cresting forms of cactus don't seem to ever get flowers at all whether mutilated or not... Those are neat! :)
