      That plant is not an Epiphyllum ; as you say most likely the broken stock plant (usually Hylocereus) , having the unfortunate lot in life to bear one of those hideous red Gymnocalycium grafts so commonly seen in G/Cs ; chlorophyll-less mutants .
      The grafts normally become top-heavy after a few years and break off anyway .

      Gail 68 That red flowering beauty is Parodia lauii . Bear in mind that cultivated plants often bear no resemblance to their 'wild' cousins , apart from the flowers and seeds that is .

        Thank you Snorky. It all started with me not wanting to cut grass. Amazing what motivates people, eh?

            Hi @longk .
            If its the one I'm thinking of it's not that interesting.
            It's one of those giant aloes that take yer greenhouse over and never flower in a pot.
            Dont know the name, sorry, but I think someone on here did ID it for me a long time ago.
            Think it might have been @Sirius .

              Aloe variegata , or Partridge Breasted Aloe or Tiger Aloe (best keep with botanical names)!!:)
              Mine has flowered in a pot ; blandish coral pink and white typical Aloe flowers @ 10" high .
              Easily propagated by stem offsets , sort of a typical suburban windowsill plant .Don't mean to sound offensive , but there are much better Aloes to cultivate , 'excluding' the ubiquitous Aloe vera which is apparently attempting a world takeover :frown: !
              !

                  I take it @PaulB3 you are referring to Snorky's picture which does contain an Aloe variegata.
                  I was answering Longk's question about the one in my picture.:smile:

                    Whatever!! Apologies to Pete needed here as I misread the post ; probably Sansevieria cylindrica or something similar .
                    I'm not a plant snob , just a bit pedantic sometimes . Any plant that gives enjoyment in growing........then why not ?:psnp:
