Great looking!
Looks more like grandiflorus to me.

Thanks all, from what I'm reading it could be excellent grafting stock.

Quote:

  It is likely that a freely flowering stock would promote earlier and easier flowering in the scion. This possibility may be used to hybridize cereiod cacti without the difficulties of waiting for maturity and flowering in containers. Floriferous stocks may include Echinopsis multiplex, and or freely flowering Trichocereus plants such as T. grandiflorus. The use of floriferous stocks could potentially result in significant reductions in the time, space and difficulty of breeding Trichocereus cacti. Experiments in other plant families have shown that a non flowering plant will generally flower when grafted to a flowering plant, even if one is a long night bloomer and the other is a short night bloomer. It is likely that members of the Cactaceae would not deviate from these findings.

you could always give it a try to see if its active. i have heard many conflicting reports of activity in grandiflors.
