Today’s flower: the night-blooming cereus. There are several species known by that name. They all bear large white blooms that only last a few hours or one night. One variety
Peniocereus greggii
grows abundantly in the wild in the Sonoran Desert where I used to live, looking like a pile of dead cactus all year until one night and one night only they all bloom at once. I remember my father grew one of a different variety, probably
Epiphyllum oxypetalum
, and the night it bloomed he got everyone in the family out of bed and took us all down to see it in our pajamas.
This is a time-lapse video (or link if you prefer) from bud to withering of the species
Selenicereus grandiflorus
. Nature seems to feel like it’s worthwhile to create something that’s so briefly beautiful – why do we demand so much more from ourselves and others?
