Anagram Cactus
The genus Denmoza is an anagram of Mendoza, Argentina where the first specimens were collected. This cactus begins life as a medium sized barrel and then, as it gets more mature, stretches into a columnar form eventually reaching to as much as nine feet. This drought hardy plant does best in full sun with good soil drainage. Photos by Laurel Woodley
