Brahma Kamal, named after Brahma, the God of Creation, blooms only for one night in the entire year, somewhere between July and September.
It is commonly known as Night blooming Cereus, Queen of the night, Lady of the night as its beautiful Lotus like flower blooms late night. In India it is called as Brahma Kamal ( ब्रह्मकमल ) and is treated as a sacred plant.
13 of them bloomed in our society last night (20/08/2020).
The flower starts blooming after sunset from 7 p m onwards and takes about two hours to full bloom,about 8 inches in diameter and remain open through out night.
Also recognized as the flower of Lord Brahma, it is considered very lucky if u see it bloom…
