Cacti & Succulents

Name my cactus variety 2

9 years ago

My cactus is about 25' tall and blooms prolifically at night, closing around 10 a.m. after which the blooms fall off. I am posting several pics to help. I know nothing about succulents. I am told it is a "night blooming cirius"; however, my neighbor's cirius is smaller and climbs his tree.

Well I believe yours is definately a night blooming Cereus. Your neighbors could be also. There are several different types. Google it and I'm sure you will find all different types of blooms.

Hopefully others may be able to help identify the exact name of yours. I'm sure you may have to show the entire plant and not just bloom. Hope that helped explain a little.
