This cactus was rescued from a weekend home here on the island. The branches had been knocked off in a big wind and laid in the yard for months. A friend of mine's parents own the house and let me take all I wanted, I took a truck load home (about 70 chunks of cactus!), planted some, gave some away, planted these in the beds at my neighbors. Then came Hurricane Ike, the raised bed had 3' of water over it. When we got home these guys were bent over, looked like they had been sucked dry and were almost yellow they were so pale. Just over a year later they have recovered! They even bloomed in the summer. The ones in my yard were cut back and all have recovered. The ones on the left side of the porch have grown in a twisting fashion.
Tally HO!

There were 3 cuttings approx. 3-4' tall planted here, the growth you see is all in the last year.

The left side of the porch with the twisting cactus. That's a blue agave offset that was put in 2 years ago, I dig up babies several times a year to keep it under control.

You can just make out the plants that fell over at the base.
