  1. Cephalocereus senilis, or Old Man Cactus, photographed at Tula Plants & Design.

    Cephalocereus senilis

    Cephalocereus senilis are columnar cacti known for growing up to fifty feet tall in the wild. White fuzz blankets their stems, giving the plant the fitting common name of Old Man Cactus. This sagely specimen will not produce flowers until it is at least 15 years old, so cactus flower fans will have to be patient. It is native to the states of Hidalgo and Veracruz in Mexico.
