A friend of mine gave me 2 old conos in bad condition without label. I made some cuttings.

Please, can you identify these 2 plants :

Looks like C. uviforme. Are they flowering at night or day? I reckon during the day, if I judge the light on the photos well enough.

They are typical nocturnal flowers Aiko. But they usually stay open in the daytime at the end of their life.

Thank you Chris for answering for me.

I forgot to mention that the photos were made in artificial light. :wink:

I would be happy calling both of them C. obcordellum, not one of the better-marked forms though.
