The ones I have in my yard Bloom in the middle of the night and start dying the minute the Sun comes up.
Must be different blossoms or you live in the wilds of Alaska.

I live in the Sonoran Desert. See the attached for Info on the Organ Pipe Cactus. I don't know where you live.

Once an organ pipe cactus reaches maturity it begins to produce beautiful white flowers tipped with shades of purple or pink. The blooming season is typically during the months of late April, May and June. The cactus produces funnel-shaped flowers that measure about 3 inches (8 cm) across. Like all night-blooming cereus cacti found in the Sonoran Desert, the blooms of the organ pipe cactus only remain open for one night before closing by mid-morning the following day. (Credit: NPS)
