This came from the remains of the collection in Devon and was originally bought from Ralph Northcott When he was in Exeter. Unloved for many years it’s now come to London and rewards the attention with this display.
No idea what is is as the label is long gone.

No need for label IMHO, appearance speaks for itself

Re: Echinopsis something
That's lovely. It's similar to a plant I have labelled as E. ancistrophora kratochviliana.

Re: Echinopsis something
So is it possible it’s night flowering? I expected the sunshine to open the flowers a little but instead they closed after lunch.

Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Re: Echinopsis something
Then it's moths most probably.

Gorgeous! These flowers remind me why I love cacti over other plants.
