This is an amateur talking, so be patient with me.
I have lots of Selenicereus, (apparently!), but it has big thick stems with large white scented flowers. I have a squiggly one just like your picture, but it's never flowered!
Here is a picture -
Is that a Selenecerius? I have it inside as i noticed it doesn't like a lot of sun. It has lots of fresh geen growth, but i've never had a flower.
The other one i have is cuttings from a clients house. Big thick green stems, big white scented flowers at night. The bats seem to like it.

The one in your picture looks like Phil's link = Selenicereus (Cryptocereus) anthonyanus

Fabulous plants!
You can take the boy out of the greenhouse, but you can't take the greenhouse out of the boy!

Did you know you can sometimes buy Selenicereus fruit in the UK? Look up Selenicereus megalanthus...
I once gave a talk to Birmingham Branch, at Winterbourne Garden. The second half of my talk started a little late, as at 1/2 time we all trooped out to admire a Selenicereus grandiflorus flowering in one of their greenhouses. Impressive it was too, and I certainly did not mind taking second place to such a show!
