Nightblooming Cereus or Queen of the Night (Peniocereus greggii) About the Website: The Firefly Forest is a combination nature journal and species identification guide with photographs, stories, and information about the plants and wildlife of Arizona and the Sonoran Desert and Hawaii (my new home), as well as many other related (and unrelated) things such as my travels to the beautiful country of Costa Rica.
