Night flowering cactus. One night only.

One of my cacti, only flowers for one night. The next day the flower stays open, then wilts that night. Some times the variety has more than one flower, this one only produced the single stem this year.

It has a very strong smell similar to gardenias. I bought it into my bedroom and it filled it immediatley with the strong sent.

I should have used more lighting, as I would have loved to illuminate down into the flower more.
I managed to get a few shots... Well 300 actually...
This is one of the better ones.. Taken with a nifty 50.



Thanks for looking.
