Re: Night-Blooming Cactus/ selenicereus grandiflorus Thank you Chris, I looked it up on line and you are correct. These flowers are so beautiful, I enjoy them each year and watch eagerly for them to bloom. I guess the nickname is queen of the night. I have been looking for help with the name for two years now. Thanks again so much. Susan
