I have one, but it is still small and has not flowered.

I am advised it’s more likely to be gongianii

I have a plant in bud, and will post a picture in a few days when it flowers, for comparison...

I'm sure Norbert will not mind me using his very helpful photo which was published in the TSG Journal in 2014, in the article on Pterocactus pages 14 to 34, which also contains some great pictures to aid indentification, see:
