I was thinking it was a large grandisfloris.
Can you get me a close up pick of the spines?

I thought grandiflorus were more globulouse ? Although it is a common name attached to to Echinopsis / Trich hybrids with red flowers.
And no you don't have trich, quite an average sized Cereus of some type. If you thought you had something active you have alot of reading to do.

None of those are San Pedro, or even Trichocereus species.
Trichocereus have thick, fleshy ribs. Those ones with the thin ribs are probably Cereus. Common mistake. Hope you haven't bought/stolen/boiled/eaten any yet.

Yep, I was refering to the plant in the last pic with the grandiflorus comment.
I may have a slight variation with the name mixed up in my mind though. Could be Echinopsis grandiflorus that are a generic hybrid name given to some hybrids in Aus.
Are T.grandi just like spach that have a bit more girth ?

I'd also like to get a better picture of the difference between T. spachianus and T. grandiflorus. The only way so far that I can tell them apart is that spachianus has white flowers and grandiflorus usually has red flowers. Although I haven't actively tried to sort them out yet.
