Night Blooming Sierra (Ceresus)


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!)
