And only at night.
This is the first one I've witnessed in full bloom. I don't know much about it except its white, flowers only at night - once a year, blossoming from a cactus
of the Epiphyllum group, and commonly known as a night blooming cereus.
.... and to think if I hadn't gotten food poisoned. I'd have missed it.....aren't I lucky

Yes.. me too but then I thought once a year might be stretching it a bit
Nice one Joe. There are many sides to you we still haven't seen

.... merry band.
Having a look at the cactus this morning, I noticed three new buds
Having read more about these blooming wonders of the night, epiphyllum oxypetalum regularly produce more than one flower annually. ......more to come...
Glad you liked the photo
Cheers
