Hello Niall
Can anyone tell me the name of this plant. Apparently it is a cactus orchid or orchid cactus? Common name is Ricrac plant. I would like to know if it is pollenated at night? The plant is growing in a pot in my garden in Durbanville and has flowered for the first time in 4 years. A fellow member of the garden club says hers flowers every year!

I believe the Latin name of this plant is Cryptocereus anthonyanus. Have a look at http://www.paghat.com/ricrac.html for more information.
It is indeed nocturnally pollinated.
I have one growing in a tree in my garden in Pietermaritzburg
