Tan Hua Kai Lei: Night Blooming Cactus Epiphyllum oxypetalum



Looks like it will bloom tonight. Auspicious in Taiwan.

Grown from a cutting - a gift from a colleague. This cactus was more or less neglected last winter in a South window. It was moved to a sheltered north & eastern location outside this Summer. More expert instructions are available.

I'll need to get up at various times tonight to see what happens. Photos to be posted tomorrow if the flowers open. Posted by Picasa

  1. I have one that bloomed in July. If yours blooms like mine, the whole thing will be pretty much at its peak by 10:00 PM or so. Good luck!
