I bought this cactus at Lowes. It was marked down to $2.50. Can't pass up a bargain. Anyone have any idea what kind it is? Thanks!

Re: What Is This?
It's a Cactus, don't know the scientific name for it, or its specific variety.
I grow up in the Philippines, and these plants are abundant. It can grow tall as 6ft, I think what you have is a dwarf variety. The picture shows me a common cactus in the philippines and we use it to fence a property, along with barb wires. There are little leaflets found just by the torn, like what you got in the picture.
Careful: Cactus saps can irritate you, I learned that first hand. Ran into it while playing tag as a 7 year old kid. The thorns hurts a lot, and the sap just stung me, reddish irritation for one week. Teach me a lesson " never ever ran into a cactus".
Hope that helps.
