A stunning overnight bloom on a large Peruvian apple cactus has gone viral after hundreds of bees swarmed its flowers at dawn. The clip, posted by @disasterdina, has now reached 357,700 views.

Dina said the cactus typically blooms only 3 to 5 times a year, usually producing 5 to 10 flowers at a time. But this particular bloom was extraordinary — nearly 50 blossoms opened at once, creating a rare display that lasted just a single morning before the petals fell.

She woke up early to check the cactus, only to find hundreds of pollinating bees covering the flowers. Dina described the moment as “absolutely beautiful and a real treat,” adding that she doubted anyone would ever see a cactus with more flowers or more beauty than this one.

This large Peruvian, apple cactus blooms only a handful of times a year. When it blooms, we typically have 5 to 10 flowers on it. This particular bloom there were close to 50 flowers on it. the blooms only last overnight for one day then they fall off and die so when it is blooming, I wake up early every morning to check out how many blooms there are this particular morning there were hundreds of bees swarming it. It was absolutely beautiful and a real treat. I don't think you'll ever see a cactus with more flowers that looks more beautiful.
