    I was wondering if you know the name of this plant (pixs attached).

    I started it from about a 4-inch cutting (owner didn't know what it was either) and, after about a several-year wait, it bloomed about a month ago (for one day only).

    The blossom was about 8-9" across.

    Thank you all very much for your help!

    An Epiphyllum. Several species and hundreds of selected cultivars and hybrids to chose from.

    Doubt the actual color is purple. The picture appears to be on the dark side and the color is a bit off.
