ID Please.

Question

I've had this specimen in the ground for over 10 years now and it has only flowered twice during that time, the second time being just recently.

If anyone could provide an ID, I would be grateful.

Unlike the other cacti around it, this plant hasn't really grown much, but the pink flowers it produces are almost as large as a Trich flower and are super speccy.

Hey mate, this is a Trichocereus hybrid. It´ll probably not be possible to identify the full parentage because there are just too many of them. The body looks like it involves Trichocereus schickendnatzii or Trichocereus bruchii. For example, the Trichocereus hybrids Märchenfee is very similar. There are many others too. Just one example. But yeah, beautiful flower and I also like the body.
