Ponce De Leon Park - Night Blooming Cactus Flowers


night blooming cereus time lapse


Epiphyllum Oxypetalum. A Cactus flower that blooms in the moonlight 2 to 3 times a year. It then dies by morning. Extremely fragrant and native to Central and South America, but does well in Florida too, trailing up palm trees. Common names are Night Blooming Cereus, Dutchmans Pipe and Queen of the Night

What's cute about the Cactus flower? I guess this lizard is enjoying the strong fragrance.

A little more than you may have wanted to know about the Cactus Flower...
