MacKenzie Posted July 11, 2018 Report Posted July 11, 2018 Looks like it is going to be a late night here, the Cereus is going to blossom tonight, I think. There are 3 that are ready to open and 2 more that will do so in the weeks to come. 2 Quote
MacKenzie Posted July 12, 2018 Author Report Posted July 12, 2018 It is getting darker and darker so the blossom opening more and more but harder and harder to get a good pix. 4 Quote
tony b Posted July 12, 2018 Report Posted July 12, 2018 GORGEOUS! Now I see why you're so eagerly awaiting them to open. If I remember correctly, they'll be all brown and gross by morning? 1 Quote
Tyrus Posted July 12, 2018 Report Posted July 12, 2018 Glad the weather has broken and your enjoyment has bloomed, a day to remember 1 Quote
MacKenzie Posted July 12, 2018 Author Report Posted July 12, 2018 Exactly Tony, if you snooze you loose in this case.:) I took these with the cell phone cam. 1 Quote
MacKenzie Posted July 12, 2018 Author Report Posted July 12, 2018 I think we must be fully open. There is a scent from these flowers, rather pleasant and the flowers are a good 9 inches in diameter. 3 Quote
MacKenzie Posted July 12, 2018 Author Report Posted July 12, 2018 Fully out- 9 inches tip to tip. 5 Quote
