    i have twice ordered oxypetalum, only to find out later they were this, and some other NOID cactus. FINALLY i have the right one growing. i think the confusion on these is in the fact that most of the white flowered ones are known as 'night blooming cereus' and people think it is a variety, instead of a family of cacti.
