Queen Of The Night is a species of cactus and one of the most cultivated species in its genus. Epiphyllum Oxypetalum rarely blooms and only at night, and its flowers wilt before dawn. The large, funnel-shaped, white flowers are up to 28 cm long. This fragrant, nocturnal bloom opens in the late evening and closes again at sunrise. The flowers are followed by small, up to 10 cm long, oblong, purplish-red, angled fruits. In India, Epiphyllum Oxypetalum called by many names. Iruludavare in Kannada, meaning ‘night lotus’. It is believed that the wishes of people who pray to God while the flower is blooming will be fulfilled. It is also called as Bramhakamal in Maharashtra, Gulebakavali in Ancient Tamil. It is called Kadupul flower in Sri Lanka. Though it is sometimes referred to as a night-blooming cereus, it is not closely related to any of the species in the tribe Cereeae, such as Selenicereus, that are more commonly known as night blooming cereus. All Cereus species bloom at night and are terrestrial plants; Epiphyllum species are usually epiphytic. Epiphyllum oxypetalum is an erect or semi-erect, branching, epiphytic cactus up to 6 m tall with cylindrical stems, bearing elliptic, leaf-like, scalloped, dark green branches. Saussurea Obvallata vs Epiphyllum Oxypetalum Not many know that Brahma Kamal is a misnomer when referred to Epiphyllum Oxypetalum. We see a lot of people sell it as Brahma Kamal. But the real Brahma Kamal is Saussurea Obvallata, which grows in the Himalayas, at an altitude of around 4500 m. The Epiphyllum Oxypetalum, on the contrary, is a cactus and nowhere related to Saussurea Obvallata. Saussurea Obvallata is the state flower of Uttarakhand.

BramhaKamal Brahma Kamal, named after Brahma, the God of Creation, probably blooms only for one night in the entire year, somewhere between July and September. It is commonly known as Night blooming Cereus, Queen of the night, Lady of the night as its beautiful Lotus like flower blooms late night. In India it is called as Brahma Kamal ( ब्रह्मकमल ) and is treated as a sacred plant. It is also popularly known as Orchid Cactus as the flower has orchid like beauty and plant resembles cactus in habit. The Brahma Kamal plant found in Himalayas is often mixed with the plant seen growing on window sill in homes. It is the state flower of Uttarakhand. Also recognized as the flower of Lord Brahma, it is considered very lucky if u see it bloom… In Hindu drawings Brahma is seen sitting on a pink flower that is resembling lotus (Sanskrit:Kamal), which is Indian National flower. Hence people claim that the pink flower of Nelumbo nucifera to be Brahma Kamal. It is believed to bring in loads of good luck and prosperity and a home where the flowers bloom is very auspicious and lucky. These flowers looks gorgeous, but they smell awful, perhaps that explains why we do not bring them home, but have been offering them with devotion in the hill temples at Kedarnath and Badrinath. #themintwheels #mastermint350 #soloride #solorider #solobiker #solotravel #solotravelstories #kashmirtokanyakumari #k2ksolorider #bikersofindia #travel #explore #wander #adventureseeker #mobilephotography #india #iloveindia #incredibleindia #visitindia #inspiredtravel #instabikers #instariders #roadtrip #incredibleindia #instapassport #coloursofindia #indianbiker #indiatourism #indiantravelblogger #royalenfield @natgeotravel @natgeoindia @natgeoadventure @discoveryplusin @discovery @royalenfield (at Gangotri Temple) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPhnoP4Aa4J/?utm_medium=tumblr
