Night Blooming Cereus





I want to thank my friend Shari for letting me adopt this wonderful plant. Is this just exquisite? It is a night blooming cereus, which as the name says it only blooms at night. It starts to bloom around 9:00 pm and you can almost watch it open. By 11:00 or midnight the whole flower is open and has a heavenly smell. Of course the next step is to take a picture. First I had to get out a black cloth, which Shari loaned me, then pose the flower for best results, all the while hoping something horrible was not going to get me outside.
