Dee...
If it looks like an orchid cactus (flat leaf-like stem, no spines) it is
probably an Epiphyllum oxypetalum, commonly called an Night blooming
cereus, even tho cacti of the genus Cereus are much more cactus-like in
appearance. There are several other species in the Orchid Cactus family
that have a similar appearance, but E. oxypetalum is the most common.
