Night Blooming Cereus Cactus

Tucson, AZ

This cactus blooms each year with the flowers open only at night, and only for one night. Not all flowers open at the same time, so hopefully I'll be able to catch several more in bloom. The blooms are huge, some more than 6" in diameter. Bats are the primary pollinators.
