    We live in Tokyo, now. In Boston we had a wonderful
    flowering cactus that sometimes had up to 15 huge,
    fragrant flowers that drove the moths crazy. I would
    like to try to find it in Japan. The flower is about eight
    inches long.
    Can someone tell me the correct name?
    Thank you,
    Sid

    Easter lily cactus (Echinopsis). The oversize flowers are fun. Last season mine had a whole ring of buds coming but these aborted, I think the plant got too dry at a critical time.
