From a soft, fuzzy feeling cactus..

given by a friend, to this large over-the-fence climber, the cereus cactus begins the red-stage of the seed pod.
What changes this cactus goes through.. from a small pine-cone type bud..to an eliptecal green bud ready to burst forth with a delicate yellow & white fragrant, saucer size bloom ..now,to this red, almost prehistoric seed pod.
