These nocturnal blossoms aren't easy to catch so I set up my cam and made what amounts to about a seven-hour timelapse of this spectacular flower opening for the first time.

The one in the video is Cereus..... Trichocereus ("San Pedro") have more inflated ribs.
-
@utube123477 agreed
-
@sysopglobal It is a Ceresus. Not even close to a Trichocerus.
-
I'm very fond of the many varieties of night-blooming cereus flowers and have observed thousands of 'em over the last 50 years. They are pretty fantastic, I think, especially because they only last such a short time.
-
San pedros are haver stubier rounded ribs. Those ribs stick way too far out. Still v ery buitifull flower and cacti.
-
Gorgeus Plant, But not a pedro. Ribs are Bulged out and skinny. Yes great video and amazing flower. Def a Cereus.

i thought san pedro cactus blooms were wool or hairy first then goes into a flower

I have a cactus which flowered last night and it looked very much like this. Ther are conflicting posts as to whether this is Cereus Peruvianus (Peruvian Apple) Cactus or Echinopsis pachanoi, syn. Trichocereus pachanoi (San Pedro cactus). I'm trying to find out which one mine is... It looks exactly like your one... so what do we have... San Pedro or Peruvian Apple? I would really like to know either way. Can anyone help?

I wish I could help sysopglobal, but I'm even more confused because of this comment thread. From what I've gathered, it's a member of the cereus family.

I'm pretty sure it's Cereus peruvianus. It's most certainly NOT a san pedro.

Thanks for continuing the debate.

What kind of cactus is this? I thought it was San Pedro. Today I we just found out they bloom at night. We saw the buds and the next day it was dead, the bud. Today, one was sorta open then after it got dark i cam outside to take my boots out and noticed it. I was tripping out. My girl took pictures.

I'm pretty sure it's a San Pedro. As you'll see in the comments, the reason for the "this is not a" in parentheses in the title came after some viewers were less interested in the video and more interested in telling me I'd incorrectly identified the plant. Whatever they are, they're amazing.
