Description

The listing, queen of the night cutting has ended.

i have up for auction a cutting of my queen of the night cutting this a rare plant ,I GOT mine from a friend who works at the botanical garden here in Cleveland


.
Known in the botanical world as peniocereus greggii, the queen of the night was named for its dramatic, white, waxy flowers that are composed of elegant white petals and stamens. One of the desert's most famous yet least encountered cactus, the queen of the night is virtually invisible most of the year.
Where does it grow?
The queen of the night grows naturally at low elevations in the Sonoran and Chihuahan deserts of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. The species in general is not nearly as plentiful as it once was. In fact, the numbers of these plants are so diminished in Arizona that within the Gila River Indian Reservation where it was once common, it is now a protected plant on the reservation.


Does the queen of the night really bloom only one night each year? When?
Yes, each trumpet-shaped blossom appears for only one night each year, usually during the end of June / beginning of July. Can you describe its' fragrance?
Its has a warm, soft floral scent,
