Description
This is a Tricocereus blossom. Tricocereus are a hybrid species of night blooming cactus prized for their wide variety of bright saturated colors. The blossom opens in the evening, about 8pm and is wilted by mid morning the next day.
It reminds me of the old Cowboy/Western song, "My Adobe Hacienda". " . . . Cactus lovelier than orchids blooming in the patio"
