Looks like Echinopsis oxygona; a South American species.  Varies in number of spines, and flowers can be white or pink, but the spineless ones with pink(ish) flowers are most often grown.

Adam,
Not sure what specie of cactus it is, however yes it is a pink colored one, and as you can see by the accompanying pic, there is a third one about to open, as well as a second cactus. This is a couple of my wife's surviving cactus that she and her mother used to have. They multiply like crazy here and always put on a nice display for a few days.

Robert, 


That's a night blooming cereus, right?

Is it a pink variety, or is that just because of the lighting? 

Whatever the case, I'm happy for you, and thanks for sharing!~  I'm going to show your photo to my own cereus, hoping to encourage it to bloom!!  hehehe!

Adam~
