The Century Plant Blooms Every Twenty Five to Forty Years
A florist explains that the century plant is not a cactus but a distinct species with broad leaves and a central stalk reaching 15 to 20 feet. Variegated and green varieties bloom every 25 to 40 years, with small blossoms around the stalk, not especially pretty or fragrant. The night blooming cereus is a cactus that blooms about every 25 years with a large fragrant flower. Misnamed century cacti bloom earlier under glass or in heat, and are ordinary cacti with pretty scent but not century-scale blooming.
