Hylocereus Undatus
Honolulu Queen or Night Blooming Cereus
Last night about 9:30 we were driving home and I had Scott slow down so I could see if a neighbor's night blooming cactus flowers had opened up yet. Hers were still closed, but when we turned the corner this is what we saw. Two giant flowers opened up larger then my hand on the side of the road. I got the flower I've been waiting for. We used to have a similar night blooming hedge cactus in our back yard that grew as tall as our 2 story home, but Hurricane Katrina took it out. The origin of this species is unknown but can be found in tropical regions around the world.
