That white-flowering Echinopsis? is a magnificent plant. Do you know what species it is?

I'm not entirely sure. It came from a mixed seed packet I sowed a few years back. Another member towards the beginning of this thread suggested maybe either Echinopsis silvestrii (not chamaecereus) or Echinopsis ancistrophora.

Only about 146 more years to go before my saguaro is fully grown!

About 3 years old now. Sown in spring of 2018. And a few more of the stenos have flowered since that post too.
