This week two of my succulent plants bloomed overnight. The Echinopsis, (I looked up the name on Google) one
of my regular summer bloomer and my favorite. The other is my Dragon Fruit plant; I counted
seven flowers, two in trellis next to the house and the others up high in the Plumeria tree.
These flowers are stunning, but they are short lived. Fully open by midnight and gone by ten AM the
next morning. This is one of the reasons
why is so hard to get Dragon fruits, the flowers must get pollinated overnight by night
flying moths.

The flowers are just beautiful.
Beautiful! It's been a while since I visited your blog, and I'm so glad to see that things are blooming like mad, and you are still creating beauty in your corner of the world! Blessings from Kansas.
