Re: is it Hoodia flava ?

Don't think yours is H. flava. As far as I know H. flava always has yellow corona-lobes. Not shure what your plant is, need a good close-up of the centre of the flower to tell more. Might be H. officinalis ssp delaetiana.

Night flowering cacti have 'stunning' flowers. This one is in flower right now. Not sure about the name but looking into the New Cactus Lexicon Hylocereus ocamponis does not seem to be a bad quess :smile:

That is a huge bowl Mike! It takes up a lot of space so I woud have divided it into smaller pieces and repotted it long ago. Not yet many Stapeliads in flower right now but this small one from Socotra, Socotrella dolichocnema, has started flowering.

Matucana myriacantha

In flower today this Matucana myriacantha. An advantage of these flowers is that they are still open when I return from my work at the end of the day.
