Better see this with flowers but my guess is M. zeilmanniana or M. crinita.
If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.
°C = (°F - 32)/1.8

Thanks a lot Teo. It does look very similar. Only thing that worries me is the flower color- mine is red/dark pink.

All my images are from the same seed packet (at least) - ordered as M. sheldonii from SuccSeed 2015-07-26 - I guess you have to decide if yours is the same species :-)
