Boy I've been posting alot today. Now I need help identifying this night bloomer.

Been waiting for almost a month and still many buds on the plant. Sorry for the bad picture quality will try to get better later 2night.

Some more pictures best I can do unfortunately

Plus some background knowledge: Got a cutting from a wild plant about five years ago. First time it flowers for me but looks like it's gonna put on quite a show as lots of new buds all over the plant.

Closer on flower better focus

More plant overall
Smal tip on the left is another shoot of the same plant with another few buds forming.
Overall plant is almost 1.8m high atm

Thanks Mike. Mine looks alot like yours. Some purple discoloration towards the bottom of the plant. Will try and get better pictures of spines and top view tomorrow. Hope my cell will do it justice

I think P. serpentinus is correct.
