Thanks all for the nice comments. This is my neighbor's plant and she ask me if I would like to come over to see it when it bloomed, I presume she knew when it would bloom by the way the buds were and from long experience with the plant. Anyhow, she said she had had this plant for as long as she had been keeping house - and she's been retired for a while.

Oh, talsi, how beautiful. Thank you so much for putting picture on display. I have NEVER seen one. How very lovely this one is. Such a delicate look. What a gift you have shared with us.

You did very well to get the shot before the bloom was over. Well done!

It is a lovely capture but how did you know what night it was going to bloom? It's amazing that it only blooms once a year, for one night only, so hardly anyone would be there to witness this gorgeous flower in bloom. Well done Beverly.
