Yes! One more bloom on my Night Blooming Cereus!
I was determined to catch this last bloom of the year.
(probably, the last)
I noticed a few days ago one single bud had formed on the plant that I have, so I have been watching and waiting. It's not always easy to know exactly when the flowers will bloom out...and you only get one shot at each bloom! :) They bloom late at night and are withered by morning! This is the third night in a row that I have gone out, very late, into my backyard in hopes of finding this flower opened up!
I got lucky tonight!.... No, really it was inevitable because I was determined to keep checking and not miss the final bloom! :) On my 3rd. trip out this night-to my greatest delight-I found this exquisite flower bloomed out!
The pictures I made outside were blurred because I couldn't see well enough... but I brought it inside to enjoy and get some pics!
Here it is in all it's glory!
