Leeann6,
That's a very nice looking plant you have there.
This photo dosen't appear to be the "Yellow Peanut" cultivar though,
because the cactus body is not Yellow. It appears to be a closely related plant called "Echinopsis chamaecereus" or "Echinopsis silvestrii cv. 'Fire Chief'" instead. (Which are also called "Peanut Cactus"s)
I'll be able to tell you which one it is likely to be if you can tell me how thick the stems are.
Are they 3/4 of an inch or 1/2 inch thick?

Do you remember how thick the stems were?
were they as thick as a "sharpie magic marker"?
or were they more like a fat cigar?

OK, then this is most likely to be "Echinopsis silvestrii cv. 'Fire Chief'"
Would you like your photo moved to the right page?

Do you mean this pict by TuttiFrutti?

If the stems were that thin, then it's very likely to be "Echinopsis chamaecereus".
But it can't be Echinopsis 'Yellow Peanut' because the stems were not yellow.
Do you want it moved to the right entry page?
