love it!
good scent? it is a bit of a unicorn for me as I have one plant and it bloomed twice and i missed them both.

Nice! I have a seedling which will probably be old enough this time next year! So excited to see it for myself!

I have a theory that these imitate night blooming cactus flowers like the one in this link. The range overlaps! That may mean that it is pollinated by bats!

I have that cactus too!
Selinicereus grandiflorus. Very nice

This is cool! And would be really interesting mimic if this species was attracting bats!

I adore this species! I have a seedling rapidly growing but it'll be ~2 years before blooms nonetheless. Is yours an alba? I see no pigmentation in the bloom, although it's hard to tell with this species...

I just got one bare root, 🤞🏽 for blooms someday!
