I think queen of night is correct.. Midnight Lady referred for other flower.

You can't take a bad picture of this flower. It's Amazing, larger then my hand.

I see hardly anything suggesting this name as midnight lady. Do you have a link? A search for Queen of the Night produces a near match, however there seems to be many sub-species.
