The name of this flower is Epiphyllum
Oxpetalum – commonly known as ‘Queen of the Night’. The flowers bloom after
sunset for one night only. It has a nice pungent fragrance.
I think I have affinity with this plant/flower. I came upon
a couple of stalks of the plant discarded by my neighbour, and stuck them in my
pot. They were in bad shape and I was sure already 99 percent dead. But I thought I would gave it a try anyway. However,
they are very hardy plants, and after some time in the pot, they sprouted new
branches. They are actually quite healthy now, and have been flowering
frequently. I am very pleased.
