It's some sort of "orchid cactus" and a lovely one at that. Could be an Epiphyllum, but for a more accurate ID why not stop over at the Cactus & Succulent Forum for some help from some of the experts on ID's for these lovely plants. Check out some of the ongoing threads about Epis and I think you'll get some help. (I'd love some of it and have some bright pinks I could trade.)

I would love the bright pinks!! I'll send yours on Monday. Wanna bunch or a little??!! I have a bunch!
Thanks Happ, I'll check out the other forums.

I would love to trade a couple of cuttings with you.. mine were almost all eaten by roofrats last year during the fires here southern cal, but, they are coming back and a couple are blooming.. I don't have names on them, next time I have to write the names on the labels instead of the plant itself. I have some coral colored one that I can take cuttings off of and the red ackermanni one also.. I won't know what else i have till they grow out some and bloom..

I posted some this morning in the cactus forum and saw your photo of this white one.. made me come over here to look at your post.. Antoinette

I meant to add a photo of the coral/salmon colored one.. it is huge..


edited to say this is a photo from last year...

these are gorgeous... apparently one species produces a round, edible fruit.

Naah! Most every cactus fruit that I have tasted is quite good. Opuntia fruits are in every Mexican market.

Did someone want some of the white one I have? I want pinks and oranges if anyone has some to trade.

i don't have much in the line of cacti to trade but if you have any left after trades i'd love some for postage.

I'll have plenty, send me your address unless you're in the address exchange.

weegy12, count me in.. can trade.. let me know.. my addy is in Address exchange and also, let me know if yours is there.. Antoinette

My address is there. Thanks.
