Night-blooming Cereus: 2021 Bloom Night #1
Last year, we were delighted by the flowers on our five peniocereus greggii, also called night-blooming cereus or queen of the night.

The Geek Homestead visits Apple Annie's Orchard in Willcox, Arizona, and has such a good time that we are planning on going back again in two months! We picked apples, pears, and too many vegetables (according to our kids).
