The “queen of the night”, Selenicereus grandiflorus

The Sukkulenten Sammlung Zürich opened on June 22nd, 2023 in the evening for visitors to admire the spectacular flowers of the ‘queen of the night’. Each flower only opens for one night and is withered the next morning. On that evening we saw a total number of eighteen flowers.
