A while back I posted a photo but people were not sure what it was.
Now it has bloomed... from a point on the EDGE of a leaf! A sort of
droopy pink blooms that flops down.
Hope this pic makes it. I took 2 but can't find the other.

This is the other one -- I think. Very confused.

It looks like a night bloomer. The leaves do too.
Maybe some help here.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightblooming_cereus
So far, looks more like the Epiphyllum that others mentioned. I did
visit a Cereus Web site, but didn't look the same, and also not sure
it's a night bloomer. It's open during the day.
Thanks for your reply.

Is it fully open or drooping as you say?
***Drooping. Unattractive. I can't say, because I didn't think to
check (not being aware that it HAD bloomed), whether it had been
earlier "fully open".
Last 3 -4 days, drooping.
Does such a flower typically start to droop after being fully open?
TIA

The flowers on my Ephiphyllum do indeed droop (as in your photo) after
only a very few days.
