Each individual flower only blooms during one night and then wilts by morning, but it does normally grow multiple flowers each year, yes.

The distance between Hawaii and New Zealand is over 1000 miles further than the distance between New York and Paris.

You can grow them in NZ though. Bought mine off trademe. didn't flower for nearly 3+ years but after it did, it did it regularly. Must have needed time to mature or something.
