The beautiful and VERY fleeting Cereus flower. I'm sure we all remember the more popular name, Peniocereus greggii (he's got to be kidding!) But anyway, the fact of the matter is, this plant only blooms one night each year and the one in our front yard chose RIGHT NOW! Oddly enough, Tohono Chul Park's huge collection (the largest in the world maybe) chose tonight as well. Maybe these guys communicate telepathically, but for what ever reason, I'm sure glad we can enjoy this wondrous and unique sight from the Sonoran Desert.

A most lovely post. A beautiful photo, as well. You take the time to be creative and not just "point and shoot."
The flower is beautiful tonight and so is the story behind it. Read the story about the legend on my blog. There is a message in the legend from me to you.
