I think this is a San Pedro Cactus. The San Pedro cactus is night blooming, its fragrant white flowers bloom in July and are up to 9 inches in diameter (22 cm). I found these beauties in my backyard early this morning. They’ll appear all of a sudden, somewhat unexpectedly, and last just one day only (maybe two) before folding up and going away forever.
