I've wanted some of these for many years!
While staying in Apache Junction several years ago, I had seen these cacti in bloom. They are some kind of 'Queen of the Night' and have the biggest, most beautiful blooms that only come out after dark. I can remember watching the cacti bud out and then going out with neighbors with flashlights on the night we expected them to bloom.

Recently, I was back in Apache Junction and was gifted some cuttings!
Needless to say, I am thrilled!! I know it will be years before I can hope to see any blooms, but so is the nature of gardening in the desert - I can dream and future generations may get to enjoy.
