>>The plant" Cereus NOID x Echinopsis hybrid" doesn't exist. The plant you're referring to is trichocereus(which has been split from regular cereus ) and is now under echinopsis.....
>>Its basically just an echinopsis hybrid...nothing intergenic....
---You're right it is grafted. The parent Echinopsis hybrid, see https://garden.org/pics/2018-1..., flowered last night.
---Cereus NOID, this is the other parent, a Cereus of unknown parentage. It has a flower such as you mention as being for a true Cereus, and no, it is not the rootstock.
>>The difference would be that true cereus(like your first plant) have long tubular flowers which are hairless and spineless...
Trichocereus, and it shares this trait with echinopsis , has long tubular hairy flowers........often covered with scales...
>>From what it looks like, the echinopsis may be grafted instead.....
