Exquisite flower blossom


Look what greeted us this morning! I recently bought this plant and it had the tiniest bud on it, which decided today was the day to dazzle.

This has to be one of the most elegant blossoms ever.

Blanca, that bloom looks bigger than a Datura bloom... si? And is it aromatic, and I guess a day-bloom rather than nocturnal? Absolutely stunning.



I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!

Blanca,

You have to give that plant a lot of credit. It's flower is bigger than the plant itself.

Would you believe that last white flower decided to bloom during hurricane Sergio and of course got crushed by the rain?

I am so bummed, what a brat!
