The cactus is Epiphyllum 'American Sweetheart'; the Hippeastrum is 'Red Lion' and the Brugmansia is a Charles Grimaldi cross if I remember correctly

It'll be a while on this one Ross...this is the first time that this has bloomed from me--it's little more than a cutting itself...but I was very surprised at the size of the flower (and to think this is described as a mere medium sized flower...sort of makes me wonder what the ones that are supposed to be XL will end up being like...)
Here's a shot from the side to put things into perspective...

I absolutely loved the cactus. I have another one that has white flowers and they smell great. The plant is bigger than yours though. I'll take a pic of it when it flowers.

Thanks Wanda...I'll look forward to seeing it. I sometimes wish I lived somewhere warm year round like PR...though I think all of my Cymbids would sulk...
