"What is that amazing smell?" I asked John. We were enjoying a pre-supper adult beverage on the porch when a wonderful exotic perfume caught my attention. I looked around but couldn't locate the source.
Then it occurred to me to check the greenhouse. I hadn't been in there is several days and lo and behold, the night-blooming cereus was beginning to open. It blooms only once a year and each bloom lasts only a day so perhaps it's not surprising that I forget that heavenly scent.
I stayed up till 11 pm to get a picture of it at about three-quarters open. Just didn't have it in me to wait for the full show.
