My Cereus peruvianus opened last night. It's still quite small but has bloomed the past 3 years.
I have a new camera too and had to try the night setting.

I think that is unusual for a smaller cutting to bloom three years like that. I think when they are first cut, they may have buds inside ready to go and bloom as a small cutting, but then after that, they usually have to get some size before blooming again. This is mostly just my casual observation speaking, but I'd be happy to have those results too!

Re: Flowering
i would love to get some pollen from your plants to pollinate my c. peruvianus which are ready to bloom now.

With apologies to the late Professor C. D. Darlington the following misquotation springs to
