Selby Gardens’ Selenicereus, the spectacular night-blooming cactus, will soon be in full bloom with its nocturnal display, for one night only. Join us for a free viewing of the “Queen of the Night” from 7 to 11 p.m. at the Hobart K. Swan and Janis F. Swan Live Oak Arrival Court located at our Downtown Sarasota campus, 1534 Mound Street, to witness this annual natural phenomenon. The date is yet to be determined and will be announced publicly via a media advisory and social media platforms. Guests are encouraged to bring their camera, lawn chair, bug spray, and flashlight. Food and beverages, including wine and beer, will be available for purchase from the Michael’s on East Food Truck. Ample parking is available in the Morganroth Family Living Energy Access Facility. Viewing will also be available via livestream on the Selby Gardens Facebook page . *The Garden grounds will be closed, but the viewing is open to the public. The event will take place rain or shine.
