Looks like it could be. Just this one is not a couple inches across.
The branches end up 4 to 6 inches across. The flowers that bloom, with
the stem of the flower end up maybe 9 or so inches long, blooming maybe
six or so inches across.
I think the Epiphyllum oxypetalum looks close. Some of the pictures
make me think that perhaps the branches are only 1.5 inches wide and
not 4 to 6 inches wide. A neighbor has a few of the skinny cactus and
they grow all over the place out of pots, along a fence.
