What is this Flower

Does anyone have any idea what this plant is? I know it's a suculent, but that is about it.

The flowers are purpleish, with five points, little white hairs around the edge and they feel like rubber. Very weird.

They tend to bloom in the fall. September, and always around halloween.

Does it look familiar to anyone out there?

  2. It could be a (Cereus peruvianus) or Peruvian Apple or peruvian torch plant. In my book it says erect habit, deep green-blue with up to 10 ribs and downy areoles with yellow spines. scented, brown -green flowers open at night during summer followed by red, globular fruit. In S Africa it is declared a weed. If it isn't this it could be a Euphorbia.

  6. Its a Viagra plant. If it stays like that for more than six hours you need to call a Botanist.
