Look who bloomed at our house...in the middle of the night.  Our Night-blooming Cereus.  

 

A couple weeks ago I noticed 4 tiny flower buds.  Over the next week two of them fell off, but the other two got bigger and bigger.  When the buds started turning up, we brought the whole thing inside.  And checked on it for the next couple nights.

 

On Wednesday at 9:30 pm the buds started to open up.  They were completely open at 10:15 pm, and making the whole basement smell wonderful.  That's when I took a bunch of pictures, and admired the blooms for about an hour.  

 

The flowers were still open and fragrant at 3:30 am, according to Jon and Gizmo.  

 

We love this plant, for these special summer nights.

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
