Does anyone know what this beauty is?  
It used to grow outside my old workplace in W.A (Aus), always wanted to steal some now I’m kicking myself I didn’t because they got rid of it all 😭  
It would flower in the summer, only when it was rainy or stormy though

My plant ID says it’s a hedgehog cactus, aka sea urchin cactus. The genus is Echinopsis. There are over 80 varieties and the blooms have many colors. 🪴🍀
