  1. Last night in the greenhouse...

    'Queen of the Night' a night-flowering Cereus though not sure which one. The large (5"-6") flowers start to open late afternoon but are not in their prime until after dark. Then they're over by the morning.

  6. Here’s my watercolor & pen art of a Mexican Night-blooming Cereus at Tohono Chul (Tucson AZ). I was intrigued by its tall skinny stems & 1 wilted flower. It’s also known as Snake Cactus (with the fittingly scientific name of Peniocereus serpentinus). Read more about cacti & succulents on my latest blog post paulaborchardt.substack.com/p/

  11. #Bloomscrolling #flower #cereus #photography Probably my favorite bloom on the property. Night blooming Cereus. Zoom in to see the dozens of unopened blooms - many more on the way!

  15. Are there #cactus and #succulents #identification groups on here yet?

    i think i have identified this here as #Cereus repandus -
    the Peruvian apple cactus,

    plant growing in #Silole #kenya
    - but it could be good to have such a group here.

  20. My two Cereus repandus 'Kiwi Sunrise' plants recently had 6 blooms.

    I pollinated two blooms from another cultivar, selfed the other 4.

    All 4 self-pollinated blooms dropped off; 1 of the 2 cross pollinated blooms dropped. Very small sample size, but so far no evidence that KS can self pollinate.

    I'll keep tracking. This is a promising fruit species, & I want to be able to tell people which cvrs are self pollinating (you only need a single plant to get fruit). #cactus #Cereus #kadushi

  21. #January 21, 1837
    #OTD Robert John Thornton, English #Doctor, #Botanist & #Writer, died.

    He dedicated his #Book, The Temple of #Flora, to his idol Carl #Linnaeus.
    Robert planned to feature 70 exotic #Plants in their habitats, but he ran out of money. Even unfinished w/ 28 plants, the work is stunning.

    The most famous engraving is the night-blooming #Cereus. The #Bloom takes up most of the scene w/ the ruins of a castle in the background. The #Flower is known as "The Queen of the Night."
