Carol,
I have the "Selenicereus Pteranthus" that is called Queen of the Night..It also has aerial roots, the blooms are the same, but it is not the one with the flat body..Mine looks like a bunch of snakes, lol..it has round stems.. I would be glad to share for postage or a trade if you have something interesting that I don't have..
