Echinocereus ID please

Post by Wilk »

This plant originally just appeared in a pot where something else was growing, got so large it gained its own pot, developed 4 stems, flowered large and pink, then got rot at the centre, got chopped into 4 bits and has now rooted again. But what is it? I have always thought it might be Stramineus but I might be wrong.

My first impression was stramineus as well.
Do you have an image of the flower?
