I have seen this flower in my neighbourhood, but it is not the true Brahmakamal. It flowers during the monsoon. It is a type of cactus. The flower opens during night and by day it closes. The fragrance of this flower is very intoxicating. There is one saying that the plant is very difficult to flower and the house where it flowers is very lucky.
