| the cacti species referred to in the song is not Selenicereus Grandiflorus as stated above, as this species is not native to the US. Rather it is most likely Peniocereus Greggii which is native to Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. It blooms once every summer for one night from sunset till early morning, hence its colloquial name - Queen of the night. It produces a white flower with a scent reminiscent of vanilla. Where there are a number of plants, they all blossom at the same time, which is indeed an amazing spectacle. | |
