    Hiya,
    A few months ago I went into our local Wal*mart and saw this poor little cactus with probably a teaspoon of soil in a tiny clay pot with broken needles, etc. So, I paid five bucks for it and brought it home. Since I've had it it's probably doubled in size, regrown new needles and is pretty darn healthy.

    I thought it *could* be a baby saguaro, but I'm not that good at IDing cacti, so I'd like to make sure what it is. Could somebody possible ID it for me?

    Joe,
    I looked up Cereus Repandus and I think it could be a possibility.

    Anybody have any other ideas?

    Thanks!
