Queen of the Night Cactus Flower #84257946
Description
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. Reaching a height of four to eight feet, its thin, inconspicuous branches are frequently hidden amongst other desert cacti or shrubbery. What may come as a surprise is the very large, turnip-shaped root or tuber that grows underneath each plant and stores its` food and water.
