My Queen of the Night cactus (Epiphyllum oxypetalum) has bloomed!
I grew it from a cutting started around 10 years ago. Last year was the first time it bloomed. I had 3 buds on it this year. One opened last night . IMG_20221015_090021.jpg IMG_20221015_090000.jpg IMG_20221015_041348.jpg IMG_20221015_041318.jpg

Gorgeous plant!!
I had no idea what it was when I bought it. I bought a cutting for $1 (US) at a flea market. I was thrilled to see that first blossom last year.
They open at night and usually close before dawn . I was taking pics at 3 am! (I was surprised it was still open after the sun came up.. got more pics!)

I can't get a picture of the whole plant right now. It's close to night and my flash won't allow me to be far enough away. The main stems that the flowers grow from are close to 2 meters long and the plant has 3 of those branching in different directions. I did get a pic of the cactus "leaves". IMG_20221015_191421.jpg
