Post your favorite Trich in your collection! 3

I always find myself thinking how beautiful or unique some of ya'lls plants are so I decided to make this thread. Post your absolutely favorite Trichocereus plant and maybe add why it's your favorite.
I own a SS02, a Eileen, a LEE, a Lumberjackius, and various other named plants but my absolute favorite is this Trichocereus Peruvianus. It was my very first cactus so I think it holds some sentimental value but I think it's absolutely gorgeous. I bought it from a vendor that isn't very well known but as it grows, it continues to impress me.
6 ribbed Peruvianus

It's just under a foot. While I've found that it doesn't grow as fast as my other plants, it has been filling out in girth pretty evenly while it grows in heights as well.

I love it's nice long brown spines.

All in all, I think it's just an amazing Peruvian Torch to be my very first cactus ever owned.

So what is ya'lls favorite Trichocereus in your collection? Share some pictures and tell us why! Don't be scared to show off your prized cactus!

Yes. It gets dim light all throughout day and night. I don't know much about cacti but I was pretty sure after seeing the light green tip that I need to get it outside in partial sun correct? It's been inside for about a week and a half.

This one is my favorite, because of the 3 columns, and as it grew it melted, it started out as this:

They came as top cuttings and were shipped from California. I've only had them for two months. I believe they just started to take root. I didn't grow them from seedlings like you guys so I guess mine is a cheat.
I have lots of bridgessi seeds as well as pachanoi and spachianus. I just butchered those names. I would love to take the time to grow from seeds but I travel and have a lot of researching to do!
You guys have some beautiful specimens!

Ya, it needs to be outside soaking up the sun and enjoying warm "dry" weather if it's not well rooted yet.

To be honest, it amazes me that it is the same plant looking at the before and after. The base filled out, and then it said fuck it, I am melting.
I will be honest, I have slight OCD, and originally missed how amazing melted, crested, and monstrose cactus are. Now I want to add some to my collection, the melted ones I have are a fluke, they looked nice and orderly in the beginning haha. Hey, hey, what the fuck are you doing plant?? Ohhh, ok, I like that.

This is the only trich in my collection.
