Kelli,
Great looking plant you have there.
This photo dosen't appear to be the "Yellow Peanut" cultivar,
because the cactus body is not Yellow. It appears to be a closely related plant called "Echinopsis silvestrii cv. 'Fire Chief'" instead.
Here you can view these images for comparison:

Would you like to have your image moved to the right page?

It doesn't have as thick of branches as Fire Chief, I don't think. How yellow should it be? This is what it looks like now that it is older. I always thought it was sickly, but maybe that's how it's supposed to be.

Your right, I was just coming back to this thread to correct myself.
It's actually Echinopsis chamaecereus, according to the description in my books, the stems should be up to 1/2 inch thick and up to 12 inches long, same flowers as you have pictured here.
The "Yellow Peanut" cultivar should look like this: (No chorophyll)

Here's where I believe your picts belong, although I also believe that the images that palmbob has in this link are misidentified also, I'll send him a note.

Mystic,
Thanks for straightening out the Echinopsis chamaecereus photos.
The two images that palmbob has on the Echinopsis chamaecereus page are actually Echinocereus scheeri subsp. gentryi.
Palmbob has agreed to have his images moved to the correct page in this thread.

Here's the link to his other picture of the the same plant which also should be moved to Echinocereus scheeri subsp. gentryi.

Xenomorf your welcome. Thanks for your patience. We really are trying to get caught up and some of these take lots of time to do so they do get pushed to the back burner so to speak. lol I have moved those as well I hope the entry is ok now. If not let me know.
