just a stab, really no idea; T. smrzianus?

Looks quite similar to revs photo in the pollen pinned thread in trade and sell at AE. But yours has longer spines at this point.

I'd be looking towards T. candicans. T. candicans gets quite thick for a plant that stays somewhat short. Clearly if this was a true columnar, which it sorta looks like it should be, it wouldn't be blooming unless it was a somewhat newer rooted clipping, but I doubt that is the case.

It looks to me to be be somewhere between t. candicans and t. grandiflorus.

I was looking over some of the habitat photos I have and I think it might match T. pseudocandicans better. It's probably in this grouping of northern Argentinian species all the same. Anderson has T. pseudocandicans listed as a synonym of the species T. candicans.

i dont think it fits pseudocandicans, as it was a night bloomer. i reckon its probably a shorter spined candicans..
