Nightblooming cereus. Queen of the Night.
“The most famous night-flowering plant is the queen of the night cactus (Selenicereus grandiflorus) (see above). Each individual dinner plate-sized flower opens for one night per year (although each cactus can have several flowers). The blooms attract pollinating bats.”
The size of the flower sort of freaks me out but lovin’ this whole nightblooming business.
