Cereus Peruvianus with pink/purple flesh.

[Rannman]

After reading a few posts this week in regard to C.Peruvianus with flesh colour that isn't white, I'm just wondering if anyone has a few pics of different flesh colours in this variety. I haven't seen any colour variations in Peruvianus in Australia.

Really? While I'm not saying that they don't exist, it's really difficult to believe that they do when no one has any photographic evidence. The post couldn't even attract 1 reply even though confirmation of coloured C.Peruvianus fruits were discussed on a post recently about Tim Thompsons new project. Two different growers saying that it's out there with no pics? I think if I found a fruit from C . Peruvianus with flesh that wasn't white, the first thing I would do is take a photo! I'd like a pink fleshed Peruvianus as much as the next man, but I need to see some pics to believe that it's out there!

They do exist, trade winds is actually selling seeds of cereus hankeanus. http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/cereus-hankeanus-bolivian-apple-cactus-seeds

Thanks Null for the link.  I am curious and wanting to see some pictures.

I found this:

Cereus forbesii, Argentina

After seeing this picture, my friend says; That looks like the red-flesh cacti Tim Thompson had growing at his house with fruit on it. My friend did not see the inside of the fruit.
