Looks like Setiechinopsis mirabilis. The flower is distinctive.

I like the name. Reminds me of the lyrics in Panis angelicus.

Mirabilis=Miracle.

(Listen to Pavarotti's rendition),

5 year high 42.2C/108F (07/06/2018)--5 year low 4.6C/40.3F (1/19/2023)--Lowest recent/current winter: 4.6C/40.3F (1/19/2023)

Great, Sure does look like it. Kews and catalog of life say that Setiechinopsis mirabilis is a synonym for Echinopsis mirabilis

Thanks
