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 three plants showing the different ages of the cactus’s with three flowers and three buds.

The height is 9 ½ inch tall, 10 ½ inch long and 8 inches in depth.
