I was in Wal-Mart today and they had new succulents out. One naturally came home with me. When I checked the database I can't find it. I think you see the label, but in case it isn't legible this is called a Curiosity Plant 'Mini'
Cereus peruvianus monstrose is popular as a landscaping plant with bluish - gray stems that has sculpturally fascinating knobby, rippled ribs and protuberances. Can grow to 15' in height with stems to 6" in diameter. Native to South America. Protect from frost. Provide bright light/sun; hardy to 32F; to 6' + tall. Water thoroughly when soil is dry.
The green ends of the label contain 'CactusCollection.com" on one end and "Altman Plants Vista, CA 92084" on the other end.

The plant is a forest green to my eye. No blue-gray aspect to it. It also has stickers (they may grow to be thorns, but right now they are small and flexible though they can stick you).

Sorry about the quality of the photo. I can't seem to make the flash work normally. I'll have to wait for sunlight to get a better photo if this isn't good enough.
