Help identify this plant

Please look in the gallery under K and see if you know what this plant is. I have been growing it for a about 5 years and can't find out what it is. It is very easy to grow.

Folks can also just click the "gallery" link in the header to your post to see it.

Looks like some sort of cactus to me, but I'm not an expert in identifying plants, so I couldn't tell you which one it is.

Thanks, the flowers bloom from the serated edge of the leaf like a Christmas cactus but I have never seen anything else like it.

It is an Epiphyllum spp. Can't identify any more than that but I know this white variety blooms only in the middle of the night for one night only. It is a cactus relative, but not a true cactus.

Thanks maybe now I can give it proper care. I planted the cuttings in a hanging basket about 5 years ago and it has way outgrown it. You are right the flower only blooms one day and then falls off eventually.

at night??

[kancheta]

Yes, it does. I have discovered it is a Queen of the night. It is not happy since moving to the new house so I think I need to repot it and find a new spot to put it in.

Its called a night Blooming cyrus cactus. I had 1 in fl. and they are beautiful,bloom at night & have a sweet smell. You have to check it out though at night or you will miss it. will only bloom in the dark
