This echinopsis (a.k.a hedgehog, sea-urchin or Easter lily cactus) flower opened up during the night. This morning, I got this photo of it where it sits in a pot in front of the Arizona house. This cactus has flowered before, but I don’t remember the flower being this large. I think it likes the desert! Click on the image to enlarge.
