# I missed the first bloom of my Curly Sue cactus!😭. I added a sun…

_Posted by Sunny on 2025-08-21_

I missed the first bloom of my Curly Sue cactus!😭. I added a sun shade made from nonskid rug material which reduced the sun bleaching of the plants. But. It blocked the view. We had heavy storms last night. So, I checked the plants today and found the fruit.

The dried remnant of the flower is left along with the fruit. It’s a night blooming orchid cactus in a 4 inch pot. Formal name: Epiphyllum Guatemalense Monstrose. Easy care.
