Taquimbalensis

Grown here

Taquimbalensis is reportedly a Bolivian columnar cactus from near Taquimbala in the Cochabamba department, at about 2,800 meters. It grows fast, flowers every year without fail for one grower, and its new spines come in red out of white tufted — that grower calls them genuinely dangerous.
