Thanks for the comments Rick, Dan & (ahem!) Bob. Cultivated in many
parts of the world as "Dragon Fruit" (a big, red fruit), even in Hawaii.
I'll look out for those. I saw there were more buds still to open.

These images are of an invasive, climbing Cactus (Hylocereus Undatus)
known here as the "Queen of the Night" originating from Central America.
They only flower for few hours at night & in the early morning so this
was a lucky sighting. I rushed home from my jog to get my camera. The
pollinating agents are Bats. These plants became a problem in the Natal
coastal forests & a big effort was necessary to eradicate them. Scroll
for the other.
