That’s really a gorgeous photo. That’s a native species? Any idea what species it is?

Thank you. I took that photo with a borrowed Nikon Coolpix 5700 5 megapixel on macro setting. The cactus originally was a gift in a pot that I transplanted last year. Here is what it looks like zoomed out:

The local cactus club might know the species.

I got a reply about what kind of cactus these pictures are of: What’s there is a fine specimen of Notocactus leninghausii - nice plant.
