I recognize that guy.
 It may seem like I didn't learn anything on my visit, but I did. Here is it's bud two weeks ago.  |

And here is an older pic more from the side to show that the petals seem to be just a mere enlarged continuation of the scales covering the ovary and flower.

Magnus,
You are right. Lumpers call it now Pachycereus gaumeri. That plant is about 1 m tall. But plants at 30 cm flowered already. All are rooted cuttings and though I tried hard to find other clones (and years ago I got some cuttings from DBG in Phoenix, AZ) they all seem to be the same clone. They don't set seeds Jordi
