Cactus on the Cays

The botanical garden of Sandy Cay held a unique assortment of cactus, many in bloom, however the most unusual cactus we've found so far was on St. John - the vanilla scented, night flowering cactus - "cereus".
It was almost vine-like as it twined its way along the tree trunks and limbs.
As it only flowers at night it is pollinated by bats.
