Night Blooming Cerus

Finally got to see my Night Blooming Cereus cacti bloom.  It measured six inches across and smelled so good.

It finally opened around midnight.  I had set the alarm for three nights in a row trying to see it open.  It's magnificent bloom is over before daylight.

This is the third bloom this year for this plant, but the first one I have seen.  It is difficult to take pictures in the dark, but I am pleased with the ones I got.
