Macro In Full Bloom

In Full Bloom · 11:10 PM

The Argentine Giant White Cactus was in full bloom and one of the most beautiful blossoms I have ever seen. A few getting closer photos to appreciate the glory of this plant which only blooms for a couple of days and opens at night, closes during the day.

thanks Cliff, this is one of those things you have to see to believe. Looks like we may get one more bloom on this plant the way it is forming up, we still have not got any blooms on any other cactus in this area.

Beautiful flowers, well captured Bob. they look a lot like the Queen of the Night flowers we have in our garden, must be of the same cactus family...
