Night-blooming cereus emerge just once a year. The beautiful blooms seem to glow in the moonlight, and can be found around the Historic Old Northeast, and Old Southeast Neighborhoods.

WATCH: Night-blooming cereus open up in Historic Old Northeast.

Something lovely has been happening all across the ‘Burg. The night-blooming cereus has made its annual appearance in the Sunshine City. I was lucky enough to spot some blooms at the corner of 6th Avenue NE and Beach Drive.

Night-blooming Cereus is the common name referring to a large number of flowering ceroid cacti that bloom at night. The flowers are short lived, and some of these species, such as Selenicereus grandiflorus, bloom only once a year, for a single night.

You can find these beauties all over the Old Northeast, in Historic Kenwood, Woodlawn and Crescent Heights.
