This is how the bud begins...a fluffy puff of hair attached to it's prickly cactus stem...
...which continues to grow...
Though the flower blooms for only one night, it takes about 7 days from puff to bloom...and what a delight once it opens (if you are lucky enough to be up and see it)...
From the side...
This is what it looks like in the morning after it has closed its petals...also quite lovely!
Thanks for reading my blog, you are the best f/f/r/s/f's, see you tomorrow,
Lise

WOW, what time were you not sleeping and taking photographs?
It would be cool to set up a time lapse and capture it.
You are good!
Ha ha Patti, it wasn't that late...and yes, I think a time lapse series would be awesome. It's a magnificent flower!
Beauty is everywhere...day and night! Hugs!
I love these flowers, they are so unique! Hugs back dad!
