Night Blooming Cereus
This plant blooms for only one night, and this particular plant has not produce a bloom in 30 years. My friend Diann called me and told me the story of her grandmother's plant, and the tradition her family had if all loading up in their pajamas to go see the plant bloom and smell the wonderful aroma of the bloom. I love hearing stories of childhood memories and traditions. Plus the fact that someone could keep alive a plant for that long when I can't even keep one alive a whole year intrigued me. So I went, and waited, photographing every 10 minutes or so the progress that took about 2 hours. Not birth photography, but bloom photography.
