This is not NOT Brahmakamal of the Sanskrit literature... that Saussurea obvallata.. is very different...
we had a very long and interesting discussion about the different cacti that are called NITE BLOOMING CEREUS...your flower is one of them... cant tell the exact species just from flower... st least not me... need to see the cactus itself... The discussion I talked of above can be found at this link... http://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/6da8cbf9eb9970f7/cb9467656c4e9ab9?lnk=gst&q=niteblooming+cereus#cb9467656c4e9ab9 Take a look you'll know the difference and different species lumped under NITE BLOOMING CEREUS... === BY THE WAY NICE PHOTOGRAPHS, but please could you also show us the parent plant and its age, how tall etc , growing in ground or in a pot, and time/date of this bloom??? Thanks...
