This plant is a pretty common one. But I donīt see it in any of my books. Does anyone know the species?

Ric rac orchid cactus

either epiphyllum anguliger I think that's spelled right
or cryptocereus anthonianus

I just got one in a trade not too long ago.

that's exactly what it is. I have a large hanging basket running over with it.

Some people may call it fishbone cactus also.

I think I got it, Cryptocereus anthonianus looks pretty much like that plant. I never saw flowers of that plant until I found this picture: http://www.cactusedintorni.com/Fotocac/Crypto_anthonyanus.jpg Now I will keep an eye on it. Thanks for the help :^)

I love the picture, mine has never flowered. I know there are three varieties of the species, or are they all different species? Really different, not ho hum. This is what I will be mailing out after if warms up a bit. Thanks for the name, I didn't have mine with a label.
