This is a Night Blooming Cereus. It only blooms once per year, only at night. The next morning they are all dead. (5 years and 1088 days ago)

This is a "Night Blooming Cereus." It is on a cactus vine (see SBS) and only blooms at night, and only on ONE night per year! The next day, they are all wilted and gone. The blossom is about 8 inches (20 cm) across. (5 years and 2657 days ago)
