Wordful Wednesday... Night Blooming Cereus

It was party time last night when my sister called and said "come on over, it's blooming". This flower is called a Night Time Cereus, which is a very unique flower that blooms once a year for only a few hours. I watched and photographed for about 45 minutes to an hour, and this is what I saw...












I just wish I could have captured the smell!
