A midnight flower

When we finished our Christmas gathering around 2 AM, we were greeted with this extraordinary flower. It comes from a plant relative to the cacti family (I have not been able to check the real name yet but I am working on it). A huge white flower (12 inches?) blooms for only one night, fully opening at around midnight. And Christmas eve was the night!

What looks like leaves are not leaves, it is the plant itself.

    NIGHT BLOOMING CEREUS IS THE NAME YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. MY MOTHER PLANTED A NUMBER OF THIS PLANT AROUND THE HOUSE.

Comments policy:

1) Comments are moderated except for the first day of the post publication where they will appear immediately. If you comment after the first day it may take up to a day or two for your note to appear.

2) Your post will appear if you follow the following rules. If you wrote in the open window period, I will be ruthless in erasing any comment that do not follow these rules, as well as those who replied to that off rule comment.

3)COMMENT RULES:
Do not be repetitive.
Do not bring grudges and fights from other blogs here (this is the strictest rule).
This is an anti Chavez blog, with 95% anti Chavez readers that have made up their minds over fourteen years and thus trying to prove us wrong is considered a troll. Still, you are welcome as a chavista to post, in particular if you want to explain us coherently as to why chavismo does this or that. Though I am not holding my breath.
Of course insults and put downs are frowned upon and I will be sole judge on whether to publish them.
