CACTUS FLOWER
Hallo Group Members,
on my website www.rent-a-cloud.com there is a photo 'CACTUS FLOWER' (under 'Greencards'). Could somebody, please, tell me its correct common and botannical names? It is a cactus that grows in tall multiple columns and, in this case, in temperate climate near Sydney. Many thanks - Klaus Jaritz |

But a tall cactus I'd been chasing the name of turned out to be a Cereus cactus named Peruvian Monster or Peruvian Apple because of its edible fruit. It has large white flowers which tend to open at night, probably so that it can be pollinated by bats or moths. I've seen it growing in Sydney and colder frost-prone climes, and is much admired for its stately columns. This info might get you started, anyway. -- John Savage (my news address is not valid for email) |

I can't see enough of the actual plant and that is pretty vital to identifying the plant. The flower looks very like the one on my Nopalxochia phyllanthoides "Dautche Kaiserin" but that is a draping cacti so it can't be that. http://www.plantoftheweek.org/week122.shtml |
