This flower is called as Brahma kamalam which blooms only in the night(in this case after 4 yrs) and remains for a few hours only. I happened to see this on saturday at my friend's place at 11pm. Just thought of sharing this. This belongs to a cactus species called Selenicereus grandiflorus and commonly known as Queen of night in English.

Yes, we have this plant at my home, last month there was one flower bloomed at 10.00 p.m. We call it as Nishakanthi.

Nice view of this rare flower. Just keeping one leaf you can grow a plant. In my terrece just planted one and waiting for the buds to come. The flower normally blooms around full moon time.The mild smell also very nice. Thanks for sharing.
