Cactus ID (From sh*t photo)

[TheMooseZeus]

I always see this cactus on my way home and it's always flowering and looks amazing!

I was wondering if someone might know what it is?

Sorry for the terrible photo quality :/ 

Thanks all! Much love

yeah, you'll have to get a better photo if you want an accurate ID. If you really want an ID, get a shots of the flower and the areoles... 

 

p.s when you say its "always flowering", do you really mean "always"? Like it flowers in winter also?

[TheMooseZeus]

Every time a i walk past it, it seems to have a few new flowers on it. At least for the past 5-6 or so months.

Im sure "always" is an exaggeration!

There any many similar looking cacti in my area but this always gets my attention because its the only one i see flowering.

I'll take some pics tomorrow

Here you go! This might help a little

See how the flowers in the first pic aren't hairy (covered in trichomes) that's how you know it isn't a Trichocereus which basically means 'hairy cactus' (referring to the flowers).

 

The thin-ish ribs will also tell you that it's a Cereus, a nice short-spine one.

+1 on the Halcyon ID... Nice looking cereus too... anyone know which species it is?

This plant is quite beaten up, there are some in my area which are probably as tall as my house and almost as wide. Its crazy
