I had a vacation this summer in Greece. And I saw something incredible. It's night blooming cactus. Spectacular! I'm trying to find similar type for indoor planting with the same impressive effect! :) Does anybody know this cactus?

Beautiful bloom, the only night blooming cactus that I know of is the night blooming cereus. It's botanical name escapes me but I think thats the common name for it. Someone else may have more info on it than me.

It's not an epiphyllum! The flowers are more open and spidery in shape!
Do you remember the shape of the plant?
Knowing this will help to identify it!
There are numerous night blooming cacti!

Cereus is the proper spelling and is a genus of cacti!
The name is often attached to more then one species that have the same night-time blooming with similar long tube shaped flowers!
