Hi everyone, I was looking for a forum to ask my question regarding 'ric rac orchid cactus'. I am so glad I found your thread. May I please come in and admire your tropical plants as well as ask some question regarding Ric rac's blooms?

I've this Selenicereis anthonyanus for several years now. This is its first time to set out flower buds. I initially discovered over a dozen buds, but I made a mistake moving it to a full sun location, and most of the young flowers bud aborted, leaving me with roughly 4 viable buds. This is one of the four healthy looking buds at present.

My question is, it's classified as "night blooming cereus" does anyone know roughly what time in the night will these beauty open? I don't want to miss the very first bloom. I may have to camp out in the garden, over night, to watch this flower unfurls, lol
