I had taken pictures at a local botanical garden and saw this amazing cactus but I have know idea where its from or what it is called. If anyone knows and can tell me I'll put your name in the title :). Not very exciting prize, but maybe it will help me find out what it is.
Edit: I should prbably put the photo in here huh? LOL

Lophocereus schottii f. monstrosus
Famous 'Totem Pole' cactus from Baja. This is a naturally occurring monstrose form of L. schottii, the 'Senita' (Old One) cactus of NW Mexico and Baja.

I am convinced this is it, in my completely unprofessional opinion, thanks alot Stdavidson. I'll now call this photo "Stdavidson Cactus"
