A type of nightblooming Cereus. They open after dark and remain open for 2 days and 2 nights. They are huge flowers and very fragrant. We picked this up at a nursery in Tucson, I waited for it to bloom before planting in a large clay pot.
I'm lucky to be able to spend a small part of the winter in Arizona. It's about 40 miles north of the border and just 20 miles north of Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. I enjoy taking photos of the desert southwest, cacti blooms are my favorite subject. I will share photos of life in the desert as we run across interesting things like wild burros and the beautiful spring flowers in the desert. Yes, those are wild burros at the top of the page and taken near Burro Gap.
