My night blooming cereus was at it again last night. One pic is how they look before blooming, the other when fully open. The scent is wonderful!

I want.

send me a private message with your address and I'll send you one. I'll cut a piece off and get it started first, then send it to you.

Oh, you lucky southerners, how I envy the fantastic flowers that grow there!!

You can grow this one indoors. I brought the one gifted to me up to Nebraska when I moved there for a few years and just kept it in a pot indoors during the winter and took it outside in the spring and summer. They do great in pots. All of mine are in pots so I can bring them into the garage when we get our cold snaps down here in Texas.

Are they a succulent?

Yes they are in that family but don't like direct sunlight.

Beautiful!!

I wish we had smell-o-vision so you could smell how lovely the fragrance is. 😍

Very nice and they smell wonderful!

One if the nicest smelling flowers. The Sphinx moths were on it last night.

@Redheadedgammy I don't have Sphinx moths on mine. Not any blooms yet, either. Mine blooms around the first of July.

The scent of the flower is so wonderful. I love to sit outside when they start opening to enjoy the smell and the flowers.

@Redheadedgammy It seems that night blooming flowers have a very strong fragrence, both good and bad.

Wow, pretty neat. What kind of insects are they trying to get for pollination?

JackPedigo Level 9 June 4, 2019

I have no idea about the insects but there were sphinx moths all over them last night. I wonder if they pollinate them?

They are awesome!

Heidi68 Level 8 June 4, 2019

They really are an awesome plant. Not to attractive on their own, but when they flower it's well worth it to have them in your garden. I keep all mine in pots because I don't have shade anywhere in my yard except under my pergola.
