Fuchsia Fantasy Epiphyllumpurplish-red Heliocereus speciosus

Fuchsia Fantasy Epiphyllumpurplish-red Heliocereus speciosus common names "Night-Blooming Cereus" and "Queen of the Night" both refer to several different cacti. "Orchid Cactus" is also a common name for Epiphyllum oxypetallum although the term 'orchid cactus' is inaccurate since the plants are not related to orchids in any way. Epiphyllums today are actually hybrids of epiphytic cacti species native to the jungles of Central and South America, as well as Mexico. Jungle cactihave no leaves; their leaf-like parts are actually thickened stems or branches. Night-blooming species are mostly white or white with pale yellow overcasts or traces of yellow in back petals. There are, however, a few species that have color in their flowers, notably the orange-red blooms of Nopalxochia ackermanii, the red Heliocereus aurantiacus, the scarlet Heliocereus cinnabarinus and the purplish-red Heliocereus speciosus. Night blooming Cereus is a beautifully delicate and lightly fragrant flower that only blooms once a year under the full moon in August. It's an amazing sight that takes your breath away. The plant is called by many names including Red Pitaya, Strawberry Pear, Queen of the Night, Honolulu Queen Family: Cactaceae, Genus: Hylocereus, Species: undatus

The Night-blooming Cereus (Cereus grandiflorus) emits an aromatic light vanilla scent as each flower opens for about 6 hours in the dark of the night only once a year. Appropriately nicknamed Queen of the Night, these beautiful and delicate flowers were photographed over four nights as the white petals slowly spread open under the August moon - the gossamery sepals quivering from the slightest tropical breeze. Each night a few more flowers opened. The fourth night was the most dramatic when hundreds of buds opened in unison under the full moon, a most extraordinarily awesome and wonderful sight to behold. A red scaly fruit is the final stage until next year. North Shore of O'ahu, Hawai'i
