Watch-CEREUSLY This plant is called a Cereus plant, or “Queen of the Night”. It only blooms perhaps once a year, ONE NIGHT a year, and usually opens up late at night soon after midnight with my experience. This is the second year it’s bloomed, and it’s really an awesome few hours to see her in all her glory, for in the morning, she closes up, and she is done. There were two blooms that opened up at the same time. It’s truly an honor to be in her presence, because it’s SO easy to miss this beautiful bloom! (as is) By: / Terri~Lynn

My Night Blooming Cereus plant was confused one day when I came home from work and it was blooming…in the daylight! / These plants only bloom at night from about 10pm-6am. They have the most amazing smell worth staying up for!
The Cereus Night Blooming cactus is a splendid flower to behold. This one opened up around 11 p.m. and filled the night air with an intoxicating fragrance. It’s amazing to think that a lowly cactus plant which is not particularly attractive could produce a flower of this magnitude. The ugly duckling that produces an elegant swan! This side view is part of a series I’m adding to the RB portfolio.

B&W Cereus, Night Bloomer in my backyard. “Queen of the Night” watchthemagic This is such an extremely magical, fragrant bloom in the night. It opens up when it gets dark outside and then closes up the next morning. It’s truly a spectacular event, and well worth staying up all night for! It’s very easy to miss too, because -> it’s for One night Only By: / Terri~Lynn / 2009
My Night blooming Cereus finally bloomed last night! / so I basked in it’s aroma for a little while then went to bed :)

The Cereus Night Blooming Cactus produces a spectacular flower which has a fragrance which is out of this world and a blossom which reveals itself when very few ever see it. Here is a sidewise view of the Cereus.

Cereus bloom; one night only! / (macro untouched) By: / Terri~Lynn / 2008
The Night-blooming Cereus, Scientific name Epiphyllum oxypetalum, only blooms at night, and lasts for one night only. Therefore it is often used as a metaphor to describe fleeting things. The chinese words translate to: / “You are like a night-blooming Cereus appearing for just a moment, and disappearing before my eyes like a snowflake.” Comments and critiques are welcome. Thank you.

Cereus Bloom, macro shot untouched. This flower blooms late at night, perhaps one time a year for just one night ONLY… it’s magical to see, and I’m so glad I captured it with my camera too to share with you. By: / Terri~Lynn / 2008
This is a one-night blooming flower called “Queen of the NIght” or the “Night Blooming Cereus”. Now this was a magical moment late at night outside on my deck. I saw the bulbs drop down from the leaf earlier in the day, so I stayed up late in anticipation to see this flower bloom. Boy did it bloom beautifully. It was unbelievable. I can’t wait to see it again next year! I will add the front view briefly… By: / Terri~Lynn (as is) / Canon EOS Rebel XT
