I think this is also called queen of the night. I have a picture of mine covered in flowers.

@rosegardengirl Just Saw your plant and it is same. Although here in India, Queen of the Night is a Flower from Jasmine Family. Night scented Jasmine or the Cestrum Nocturnum. Brahma Kamal(One that we have) is a rare flower. If it blooms in your house then it is considered Auspicious by many people. Mine one is from leaf cutting.
