You could be right. A friend gave me five tiny cactus three years ago...fell off her plant. She doesn't know anything about it and her cactus has never bloomed. I love your time lapse...wish I had the ability to do that. Mine cactus didn't bloom last night but I'm sure about 30 of the blooms will open tonight. Do you remember what time of night your cactus blooms opened up?

These sent out the flower stalks a day before blooming and started to bloom just before sunset, the bloom continued for another 8 or 9 hours and were closed by the next morning. Your cactus is probly an easter lilly, I think the cactus in my timelapse is a native from Arizona, "where my friends mom lived" and may be in the Echinopsys family, which I think includes the Easter lilly cultivar.

Some are cultivars/hybrids that are cross bread to bloom sooner/more often. That may be what you have. The flowers in this time lapse are similar to an easter lilly. I was informed that the cactus in my time lapse was a keepsake that my friend brought with him over 20 years ago and that this was only it's second bloom since he had it. I read some about the native cacti like this and found somewhere that they took between 20 and 30 years to reach reproductive maturity.

My cactus like this one is only three years old. It had one bloom last year. Right now it has 44 blooms that will probably open tonight. I was told it's an Easter Lily cactus, but not sure.
