I'm not so good with cacti, Jimmy. Maybe someone can ID it for you. How tall is it?

Tina it is about two foot tall I have been googleing it looks just like Lemaireocereus I found on this site http://cactustropicalgarden.com/menu_en.html They have a bunch of great pics of cacti as well as succulents well worth the look see.

It looks more like a euphorbia than a cactus to me. This is simple to find out, if you want to do it. Somewhere inconspicuous, maybe low on the inside because it'll scar, break the skin (stick it with a pin or something). If the juice is white and milky, its a euphorb. If it's clear, it's a cactus. My guess is that it'll be white, but that's my guess and I'm not the one on the other end of the pin.
