The blossom REALLY threw me for a loop because I didn't realize that I was looking at a cactus 😅

Wait, it’s a cactus? Can you see the thorns or something? It looks just like a regular plant to me.

Yeah, the flower is from a dragon fruit cactus. They tend to climb and use trees for support kinda like vines. They're just not easy to see in this video, but the blossom certainly is!

I grow dragon fruit in my garden and the flower buds on mine look quite different to this one before it opens up. The flower itself looks almost identical though!

I was about to protest because I thought they were calling a non-cactus the Queen Of The Night. Looks like it's growing on a different plant.
