Night-blooming Cereus

Here's something neat! While vacationing in Sanibel, we were treated to a floral show provided by the night-blooming cereus. I'm not sure of the genus and official name of this particular variety as there are quite a few. This variety is a creeping cactus which blooms once per year at night [turns out this is not the bloom-once-per-annum variety, which is pretty rare, but it's still a beautiful and fragrant bloom. -Ed]. The blooms close up by morning. Click on the picture for an album of several blooms.
