Queen of the Night

At home

Epiphyllum oxypetalum

These open at night but I was lucky, woke to an overcast day and they were still open
this morning! The night before I took photos through the night, but those photos
don't compare with the daytime shots... There were 15 blooms this year, 4 opened
the first night and the rest on the second night seen here.
PLEASE SEE IN ORIGINAL FORMAT.

Close up of a single bloom.

And a wide-angled view of the whole plant (and some others each side that aren't in bloom now)

Canon EOS 40D ,Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8
1/100s f/5.6 at 90.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
