Mystery Cactus


This is a very special cactus to me. I have had it since I was probably 16 years old. If anyone could I.D. this for me, I'd appreciate it.

I bought it for $3 in the assorted cactus area at Home Depot. It lived in the tiny pot for years, neglected, before being planted in the ground in Gainesville, Florida, for 4 years while I attended UF. After being planted in the ground, the top part of it sprouted up. It survived neglect and freezing temperatures before being dug up and brought back to West Palm Beach, where it awaits being planted in the new section of the yard devoted to cacti and succulents. I can't believe it is still alive.
