Description
It was a surprise for me when I saw this cactus flower bloom to be such a bright, vivid color of pink. Cereus flowers often called night bloomers are very fragrant-smelling flowers that bloom at night and can sometimes still be found blooming early in the morning in the shade.
This was captured at the Tucson Botanical Garden. the cactus is a succulent plant that stores water so that it can live in exceedingly dry conditions. The cactus family (Cactaceae) is one of the most striking, distinctive, diversified, and specialized groups in the plant kingdom. It includes about 2,000 species, and all of them are perennial and succulent. Cacti are native only to the Americas

So beautiful! Looks a lot like my Torch Cactus (which has a very soft light green throat).
