Night Blooming Cereus
I've tortured this plant with pruners and moving it around a bit. I had one bloom at the predicted first of July time. I thought it was done. Surprise! Counted ten flowers. No record, but they should be nice.
I plan on reporting back.

I guess you aren't torturing it enough.
@AstralSmoke I'll let my wife know that , it really needs cutting back . Do you feed it anything special ?
@Besalbub I tried feeding it once and almost killed it.
@AstralSmoke Torture and starve , got it .
@Besalbub Just a side note: mine is over 50 years old.
I have 4 of these plants and love them all. The flowers are so beautiful and the fragrance is so wonderful. Do report back with pics when they open up.

Normally, they bloom here around the first of July. My son loves them too.
