I thought I'd also share this one, putting on a splendid display today.
I believe it's Lobivia wrightiana, but it's certainly a favourite of mine. Many Echinopsis/Lobivias aren't wholly exciting when not in flower, but this one has wonderful spines.

Re: Echinopsis/Lobivia
Superb
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.
