The night blooming sierra (ceresus) . . . blooms only at night with the bloom fully open around midnight . . . the flower dies in the
morning. Very fragrant flower!
The flower pictures were taken last night at my sister and
brother-in-law’s.
The plant picture is of my 3 night blooming
sierras. My oldest plant had 2 flower blooms last year (or was it the year before???) . . . but I missed seeing the live blooms but found the dead blooms the morning after :-(
(Pictures
were taken with my phone, Droid, while my brother-in-law shined a flashlight on the flower bloom!)
