Dear George and list,
I have just been given a night blooming cereus! My goodness, it is one
strange and ugly plant (I'm referring to it in the flowerless state). Looks
like it could be a plant on the moon. I've been told that it is a tropical
and so I don't dare leave it outside...except during our steamy DC
summers... and have had it inside since it was given to me last month. I
was also told that it will take a year, two or three for it to bloom, and
that the blossoms only last for one night. Any of this true? Can I plant
it outside like in George's memory of his boyhood home?
Carolyn
