Whether small or large, the flowers of Echinocereus are gorgeous. Selinicereus pteranthus is a bit of a missnoma, as the flowers are bigger than grandiflorus. I have an old beta video of my wife putting a dinner plate in front of the flowers,the petals can be seen clearly passed the edge of the plate.

More beautiful cacti blooms. The last 2 look similar to a night-blooming variety I have in my garden.

When did you take the photos (DATE) as my cactus is flowering NOW; 9th Nov 2012, in Western Australia. It's interesting to know if it flowers due to seasons. Cheers Andy

Hi Andy, the Selenicereus used to start flowering late November and could go through to late Feb/March. Depends a little on the maturity. Flowers start to open about 7.30pm by 8.30pm fully open.
