The word "flower" doesn't really do this justice. Bloom is closer since it is a noun and a verb. These are pictures of the Night Blooming Cereus my friend Candice left in my care when she moved away. This is the most incredible flower I have ever seen - and it is in my garden!
These plants only bloom at night and only for a few hours. I've been watching the buds grow and grow, and last night we had our first performance. We checked around 10:00 and this is what we saw. The scent was fantastic, and the bloom breathtaking.
I'm excited to watch more of them open in the coming nights!

By morning, this was all that was left.

That's so cool! Reminds me a bit of that scene in "Dennis the Menace"--I think you know which one I mean. ;)

Thanks for sharing. I've never heard of this particular flower. It is incredibly beautiful. Do you know why it blooms at night?
Wow, that's amazing! (Oh, that's what Sara said, isn't it?) But it is!
Gorgeous! What a cool plant to bloom at night.
