wifeofschramm,
Those are some exquisite flowers you have there.
Except I must let you know that these two photos you have uploaded of this are of a different Echinopsis.
Link to the other photo: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/302263/

Echinopsis oxygona has a short, globose body, which never get as tall and as big as the one pictured here. The flowers are also smaller and not as big and grand as these.

Your cactus is Echinopsis spachiana

I totally agree with Xeno. This cannot be Echinopsis oxygona, as its body is that of the type which used to be called Trichocereus. The Trichocereus and Lobivia genera were lumped into the Echinopsis genus some years ago.

Is it okay if your photo is moved to the Echinopsis spachiana page?
