Dragon Fruit Plants

I have two very non-descript Dragon Fruit plants growing in my back yard, however, over the last couple of days they have put on a very incredible display of flowers. The three attached photos show one particular plant’s floral display over a 24 hour period. The flower does not seem to have any special aroma to the human, but to my bees it is irresistible. Each flower is only open for about a day, with the night time display the most spectacular. I hope you enjoy the pics.
