Can anyone identify this cactus?  I was told it was a "Century Plant?" 

Really?

Super nice flowers!

It is definitely not a century plant, those are like aloe, long waxy leaves radiating up and out from the center, not at all like cactus.

 Sad

Well, a long and drawn out google resulted in not much information.

The body of my cactus resembles the Echinocereus Pulchellus, and the
flowers are similar to those of a Rebotia Narvacense, or the Epiphyllum Orchid,
in ruby...   

Hmmm?  Jeez... The Echinopsis Chiloensis has nearly identical flowers too;
but, this is described as a night bloomer, lasting to 10/11am, and our
blooms last all day.....

And so it goes....   Tongue
