Any idea as to what this is? I came across it in the Florida Keys last October. Someone told me it's a night blooming cactus that only blooms once a year. I'm looking for confirmation on this. And if so, does anyone have any names?

This is very pretty. I believe it is a Hylocereus undatus-Night-blooming Cereus. However, I am no expert.

Nice shot of a pretty flower. Was this taken at night?

I don't know what this is, but it sure has a nice vertical flow about it with wonderful color that really appeals to the eye.
Very nice!
