Rose of the night cactus
Cactaceae
Chollas, prickly pears, night-blooming cereus and their kin — the family that traded leaves for spines and turned its stems into reservoirs.
Cactaceae
Southern United States to northern South America
Slender, ribbed cereoid cacti that lean and clamber through the scrub. Their large white flowers open after dark and are finished by morning.
