A couple of months ago my neighbor brought me this green plant, with little prickles along the edges of the leaves. She said that everytime she walked past the plant or tried to water it she got scratched by it. So, she asked if I wanted it. Being a plant lover myself, I was happy to take it. I love outside plants, and typically I can keep them alive and thriving. But, don't give me an inside plant, I'll have it dead in 2 weeks.
Well, I noticed that this plant began blooming one flower at a time. They started out like the first picture and as the weeks have progressed the flowers have been blooming these beautiful purple and pink buds. And, even the color of the flower has changed to pink. (I know the lighting on these two days was a bit different -one picture was taken when it was sunny and the other when it was pouring rain.) They are really gorgeous. I have done some research, but have not been able to find out what type of plant and flower this is.
Does anyone have any ideas?

That's incredible, Sandy. A chameleon flowering cactus? I don't know what kind of plant this is, but how cool that it not only blooms such neat looking flowers, but they change color as well. Neato!
