Brugmansia
And the scent is lovely. When I repotted it last, I accidentally broke off some roots and so stuck them in compost. They sprouted and grew, but I couldn't give them enough heat over winter.

Dendrobium kingianum
I think they flower next year - mine flowered after the drying off it got over winter. I suspect if your keikei has flowered, and has lots of roots, it's worth separating and planting up.

Beaucarnea recurvata
If you look at the one in Victoria's picture it has a stem which divides into three stems. Its just a bigger chunkier plant probably due to a free root run and stronger light all year round.
