Someone told me this cactus blooms for only 2 days once a year. He didn't know the name of it, and I would like to confirm that claim, so if someone seeing this can tell me about it, I'll change my journaling to reflect better knowledge. The photo was taken in the Phoenix area.
LATER: Scoured the web and found that is the Argentine Giant Cactus (giant, referring to the size of the flowers): http://phoenix.about.com/od/arizonapicturesandphotos/ig/Cactus-Plants-and-Flowers/Cactus-Flower-68.htm
