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
