Important distinctions:
The true Brahma Kamal (Saussurea obvallata) is a high-altitude Himalayan plant with white, fragrant flowers, considered a symbol of purity and used in religious ceremonies. 
The pink Brahma Kamal (Epiphyllum oxypetalum) is a cultivated cactus variety, often referred to as the "Queen of the Night" or "Dutchman's Pipe Cactus". It is more readily available for home cultivation.
