Night-blooming Cereus

 It happened again. In the middle of September I saw some flower buds appear on my Columnar Night-blooming Cereus. The bloom is spectacular but has no scent. It lasts just a single night. I assume in the wild this would be pollinated by moths and bats.

Fully open for a single night. I'll look for its return in 2023.
