From this morning
From last night
The top one was taken this morning before I left for work. By night time, I kept taking frequent rounds to see when they would start blossoming. Apparently, they are quite shy and in a conspired movement, five from three different cacti were in full blossom. It is a beautiful spectacle.
A week before the Queen of the Night (Nightblooming Cereus) graced us with a beautiful flower a little bit before midnight. Unfortunately, I missed the blossoming (see aforementioned shyness) while visiting Bizarrius who was kind enough to come and take a photograph before the sun cracked and burned the poor fella. Madame Cereus usually blossoms once a year when the moon is full, yet, the event described took place a few days before the moon was full. She was kind enough to present another flower a couple of nights after the full moon of the 15th (heck, she must have thought, if this moon eclipse takes place every hundred years or so, I might as well pop another one out).
Here is the picture I took of the second flower, half as spectacularé as the one Bizarrius took but fantastic considering how that thin branch can mount a wall three meters high and hold a flower so many times its weight. [We make the association to human birth, among other things].

* Mental note taken on the lack of interest to properly fix the 'design' of this post due to multiple failures of actually even being able to post it.
