First time ever for this plant. The fragrance is delightful. I don't know why but it is theoretically only supposed to open up at night and last
only one night, yet it was in full bloom first thing this morning and exquisitely gorgeous all day long.

get a q-tip and when a second one opens, dab the q tip in it and transfer pollen to the other(s). the fruit is delish....
mine grow like hell but never really flower....BajaBlanca - 5-31-2013 at 08:20 PM
This plant I thought was a QUEEN OF THE NIGHT, but it is all zig zaggy, so I have to double check. This one bloomed 2 years ago and then skipped last
year.woody with a view - 5-31-2013 at 08:29 PM

The Queen of the Night is gorgeous, I've never seen a red one. We have one of those zig zaggy ones,
and it's never bloomed in ten years.Whale-ista - 5-31-2013 at 11:49 PM
All of those are gorgeous!thank you for sharing.
The night blooming cereus that persisted into the day is a rare treat. Mine usually are closed by sunrise.

I have lots of these

That flower looks remarkably similar but the branch doesn't at all.danaeb - 6-1-2013 at 05:27 PM
They are all in the epiphyllum family but with different growth patterns. The night-blooming cereus is a climber with tenacious arial roots that grab
on to any vertical surface. It's the one with the huge, white vanilla-scented blooms.
