BΛRE ROOTS

look at all the flower buds on my selenicereus grandiflorus plant! 🌱widely known in india as the “brahma kamalam” (lord brahma’s flower), the selenicereus grandiflorus is a cactus species originating from the antilles, mexico and central america 🌵 the species is commonly referred to as “nightblooming cereus” or “queen of the night” because of its sweet, vanilla-scented flowers which bloom once or several times a year and ONLY at night time, and they wilt several hours after blooming. 🌸

i’ll try to post a photo of the flowers once they bloom (if i can get the photo before they wilt) 😁

the flower bud in the second and third pictures was infected with oleander (a.k.a. milkweed) aphids (the lil yellow bugs). and it’s well known that ladybirds love eating different species of aphids! 🐞🐞🐞
