Would anyone have any info on"Night Blooming Cacti"-that's the only name
I know it by-it blooms once a year at night of course-I came home from
work Tuesday and I had a huge bloom as big as a magnolia or water lilly,
pure white and a wonderful fragrance.

Hi,

I think there are two which are called night blooming: Cereus Lemairei (three angled stems) and Epiphyllum Oxypetalum (can be 6 feet tall).

Hope it helps  --  Chris
