It's a cactus which grows as an epiphyte on tree branches, in the forests Central America.
It's called Epiphyllum. There are several species and hybrids.

Thaks Hywel for your info. I see here in Mexico Epiphytic plants ("air plants") growing everywhere . Many on electrical wires. We have several in our backyard trees. Not blooming though :-(

Thank you so much for the information and yes the flowers are gone but just can't wait till the next lot I have it in a basket on the patio so can get the full impact of it. And wow Klahanie Mexico wow I never got there when I was living in the States and yes the castus flowers there that I've seen are so colourful and beautiful.
