Austrocylindropuntia Vestita

I haven't been writing a lot lately because I am finding it difficult to identify the few cacti that I have left to write about. I found this one quite by accident when I was looking for something else on the internet. This is an austrocylindropuntia vestita. It is a South American beauty whose name means "strange hairy thing." (Just kidding!) I bought it as a member of that famous cactus garden three years ago. It doesn't like much water but when it does need water, it tells you clearly by falling over. It seems to prefer being inside out of the worst heat.
