We have a Night Blooming Cereus in our plant room. In fact, we have two, but one of them is blooming tonight. This curious desert plant blooms only once each year as night falls… and then the flower closes forever with the first morning sun. Here is a photo:

How’s that? Can you smell that?
No?
Well then get right into it!
Still no fragrance? What the…..
Oh. Wait! Silly me. I forgot.
