The night blooming cereus had a second set of blooms this year. This time I got up early in the morning to see if it stayed open all night/ Here it is in full glory in early dawn.

Epiphyllum oxypetalum, also known as Kadupul or Queen of the Night, is considered one of the most expensive flowers in the world, due to its rarity, fragrance and the fact that it doesn’t survive long enough to even be picked. It blooms rarely (usually once a year) and only at night, and then will die by the next morning.

Documenting my night blooming cereus this year. These blooms are like three weeks later than last year’s most definitely b/c of the dryness. It did the same thing this year too of setting a lot of buds but dropping all but two. The plant itself looks horrible but that’s another story. The scent is strong and carries on the breeze. it’s like a heady 80’s white floral perfume, very Giorgio Beverly Hills
