The first picture is of the buds.( at the bottom) The second and third of the flower and the fourth of the bloom closed. The blooms come at night, last for one night only and have a very exotic fragrance, clean and almost citrusy with high powdery notes. The leaves are leathery, almost succulent, and though the plant has the appearance of a cacti it has no prickles. The flower has a flower within it, behind the weird squirly apparatus at the front.
Anyone know?
Looks like an epiphyllum

Thankyou sweetie, I've emailed my Hungarian neighbour to tell her what her flower is and hopefully we will get more photos tonight. Putting the wine in the fridge as I type. That's the scope of my multitasking. lol
