Big deal.

Its a bunch of Parodia, the "Parody Cactus", in bloom.

Not at all representative of the family as a whole.

I've seen much more than that.

Sorry, Sweetpea, but that's not full bloom.

Its a night bloomer and to see it in full bloom, take a picture of it
three in the morning.

BTW, your plant is Cereus hildmannianus.

:-)

if you ain't seen this, you ain't seen cactus flowers :-) :-)
