FLOWER OF THE NIGHT.— A flower of the night-blooming cactus of the cereus variety, which opened in Wellington, last evening at 9 o’clock. The cactus, which is growing in a 7in pot, was brought to New Zealand by Dr. O. Earp-Thomas, of Wellington, when he returned from the Hawaiian Islands some years ago. The hand gives an idea of the size of the bloom, which is very short-lived.
