 This is a night-blooming Cereus. Shot indoors by the light of a bare incandescent bult & an improvised aluminum foil reflector. This flower is much, much more impressive in person than any photo could ever be & has a lovely fragrance. Thanks for your comments!

I love the textures. The flower is gorgeous, is it a night blooming cereus? I took a photo of one blooming in my den when I lived in Brewster, NY.

Oh that is really neat. I like that the flower is almost like fireworks in a night sky. Nice texturing.

That is so beautiful. In Venezuela we had a Queen of the Night Vine that went up over the roof of our porch. We used to have parties to watch it bloom.
