Regal and cascading, this tree-dwelling epiphyte is a favorite among plant lovers for its huge, elegant, night blooming flowers. These blossoms often begin in late spring then produce several crops throughout the growing season. Though the plant is a prolific producer of the blossoms, they don’t last long. Watch them emerge and fully bloom by midnight, then wilt by dawn. Also called Orchid Cactus, Dutchman's pipe cactus, and queen of the night.
