Second Browningia hertlingiana. Though it may also be a more uncommon Browningia species, like B viridis.

Thank you Tom and Download. Sorry for the delay. I had forgotten this thread until now that I've been reviewing photos.

As a matter of curiosity, what is the cactus at top right in 1st photo? There's a nameplate but too small to read.
Impressive to see what must be a large growing species with arms at such a young stage.

In the nameplate it's tagged like Echinopsis terscheckii. I have photos of the species but not of that particular specimen. If I'm able to remember I'll take a photograph the next time I go there.

Thanks for that. I read somewhere Echinopsis terscheckii is highly variable. That one is certainly striking.
