Cereus sp.

We received this cactus simply as “Cereus” - without a species name. It certainly resembles Cereus hildmannianus, and may be a form of that species, but its flowers have more pink on the outside, which adds to their appeal. The smooth round fruits are pinkish-red, like those of Cereus hildmannianus, with delicious white pulp within.

  11. haribalzac said: I had a couple of these in SoCal. The flowers were fragrant and only opened once at night and closed the next daybreak. The fruits were solid with tiny edible black seeds but were mostly a citrusy whitish meat. I miss them.
