Description
Yes, this is the flower of my cactus. It only blooms once a year and the flower only opens at night for only one night. So I have to wait until next year to take another pictures if it opens again?
Night-blooming cereus
Night-blooming cereus is the common name referring to a large number of flowering ceroid cacti that bloom at night. The flowers are short lived, and some of these species, such as Selenicereus grandiflorus, bloom only once a year, for a single night. Other names for one or more cacti with this habit are princess of the night, Honolulu queen, Christ in the manger, dama de noche and queen of the night.
