Organ pipe cactus are large ribbed cactus that often grow in clusters that resemble organ pipes.

Like their giant cousins the Saguaro, they are native to the Sonoran Desert region of northern Mexico and Southern Arizona, home to the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument.

They are night bloomers and are pollinated by bats.
