Annual Night Blomming Cerus pics

Early in the evening.

6 blooms on the same plant, same night.

     I'm taking some vacation this week! 
     That let me stay up and watch the blooms open late last night. This morning, of course, they are gone. 
     Such temporal stunning beauty.

[Update: for those who are not familiar with them, the blooms open late at night, and die when the sun rises the next morning.]
