Picked up this large one a couple of weeks ago. Liked the spines (what can I say?) Any ideas?

Best,

Looks maybe a Soehrensia(Lobivia) formosa.

How big is it?

It could be Soehrensia/Lobivia/Echinopsis grandis.
Here's mine...
When they were in pots... (grandis left and formosa right)

Now in the garden:

..and the yellow flowered formosa (L. rosaroiana):

Thanks, guys.

It was in a 6.5 inch pot -- I've transplanted it.

I'm sure it's a Soehrensia of some sort (looks like formosa).
