We have a large Argentine Giant cactus in our front yard that blooms once or twice a year. The flowers are very large and really look incredible. It's a shame they don't last for more than a day or two.

Shout out to @Yvonne G for helping me ID this one a couple years ago.

Sorry, I have a second picture but it's not showing up properly.

Can your tortoises eat it?

They don't like it. It has an extremely strong, soap-like, fragrance. I can smell it clearly from about 30 - 40ft away.
