A beautiful night blooming cactus. The flower has no scent, but given it's beauty, needs no aroma. I have this plant growing in the shade of another tree, it does well anywhere it is warm.

Here is one of 3 large ones I have that just bloomed. In fact, they're all stocked with fruit now! This one is about 6ft. I removed a fruit yesterday. They look and feel like giant, candy red Roma Tomatoes. The birds love them - so do the ants. Ugh!

It bloomed last night for the first time and i just fell in love with the beautiful flower. I could have looked at it all night. Today the flower closed completely around 11 AM.
This one is 53 years old and is 27 feet tall. The smaller one is 18yrs old (broken off the big one - storm)

In a gift shop in 2006 incorrectly labeled as Cereus peruvianus. It bewilders me on why people persist on the mislabelling of this plant.
