Kadupul (Epiphyllum) - queen of the night Flower Blooming
Kadupul ( කඩුපුල් මල් ) queen of the night Flower Blooming
Kadupul flower is not a flower that you would see everyday. The rareness is due to its time of blossoming and it's unique fragrance. The flower blooms at midnight and dies in the morning.
We got this rare chance of seeing a kadupul flower in our own garden.
" This is the Kadupul - the legendary flower of the Celestial Nagas. It is believed that when these flowers bloom, the Nagas come down from their celestial abodes, to offer them to the Buddha on the Holy Mountain Sri Pada. The strange fragrance, the midnight miracle, and the fact that flowers bloom in the season when people flock to Sri Pada, seem to add authenticity to this belief."
