I believe the gnarly one is a Cereus peruvianus var. montrose. They produce beautiful large blooms. We have one that we purchased from the cactus
nursery at Puerto Los Cabos. They are fairly fast growing, ours has doubled in size in 2 years.

Hey Mr. Mexitron . . . Normally we live in Loreto & Lopez. However, this summer we are staying in the Rosarito area.
Our digs host examples drawn from most areas of Baja.

The dudleyas are local to the Rosarito area, rescued from the hillsides of La Mission and the plateau behind GIANT PLASTIC JESUS. They've been on that
little rock pile for about eight years.
