NIght Blooming Cereus

[CP30]

After 3 year of waiting (or actually maybe 4) I finally got blooms on one of my Epiphyllum crenatum!!
My wife missed them cuz she did not want to go outside - her loss!
They were gorgeous and smelled FANTASTIC! I was hoping to get 2 days of bloom or more, but I think the 94F heat did them in today.....another year to wait!

Can you smell them, yet?

looking sad this afternoon...

At least now my wife knows why I am growing such an gangly plant next to the front door!

They are awesome!

I have a huge one of those...not sure what I'm going to do with it because I can barely move it. I've photographed it at night flowering. It was really cool to watch.

Nice pics!
