Cereus Validus or the Swirl Cactus

This cactus caught my eye because of the swirl pattern and then the flowers helped to convince me that this piece was one that I wanted to make with beads on wire. 

There are two plants showing the different ages of the cactus’s with two flowers and one buds. 

The height is 9 ½ inch tall, 7 inch long and 6 inches in depth.
