🌼 Yellow Brahma Kamal –
The Yellow Brahma Kamal is a rare and visually striking flowering plant, often referring to a hybrid variety of Epiphyllum oxypetalum or other night-blooming cactus species. Unlike the traditional white Brahma Kamal (Saussurea obvallata) native to the Himalayas, this yellow variant is primarily grown as an ornamental plant. It produces bright yellow, fragrant flowers that bloom at night and usually last for just one night, making each blossom a special event. Ideal for home gardens, balconies, and indoor pots, the plant thrives in warm climates and needs bright indirect light, minimal watering, and well-drained soil. Although it may not carry the same religious significance as the true Himalayan Brahma Kamal, it is loved for its beauty, uniqueness, and ease of care.
