Default Orchid cactus pieces on eBay

Just about any variety you stumble upon
will bloom easily, except a type called zigzag cactus, it almost never
blooms, but has way interesting leaves.

Can you tell me more about this "zigzag cactus?" I think I may be growing it
without knowing the name. My plant grows a lot like my orchid cactus and the
bloom looks similar, but the cross-section of the leaf is flat rather than
triangular. When new, the leaves look like the edges were cut with pinking
shears, and the shape becomes more extreme as the leaf matures. Take a look
at http://home.earthlink.net/~lyons7/images/plant.htm
I would like to know the proper name for it and any other information you
might have.
Thanks.
