top right square is Wed at 3 PM I counted the buds that looked like they would bloom that night, took a photo at 3 pm, again at 8 and it was just about to pop... since we go to bed so early, I got the bloom at 7 am on Thursday.
Above 3 buds about to POP in the evening and 3 AFTER the POP... We had 48 blooms today, and 2 days before 20... they just amaze me so much I have to show them over and over. these are my first photos of them about to bloom
Shooting straight up over my head is hard.

I wish our climate would allow this beauty.
But my photography doesn't hold a candle to yours. Great job.
Incredible photos.
Amazing flower
Nice shots Sandra- such a beaut...I would be watching them all the time.
I am so glad you revisit the recurrence of this spectacular nature show in Florida's esteemed Sandra-Bob Botanical Gardens!
they really are so cool.
I am so happy that you continue to show these night blooming cacti every year. These shots are spectacular. The flowers are so beautiful. You could teach photography classes, Sandra!
I LOVE these! They're definitely a favorite for me. :) Do you think they would live in NC? So beautiful!
I've got a white one night bloomer. You gotta be alert to get a picture as they don't last long...:)
Just beautiful! and exciting! So after they bloom, how long does the blossom last?
that is one smart plant and still very amazing at how it does that. I know it is all in the sun but still one of God's miracles.
Hugs madi your BFFF
These are lovely and great to see the different stages pictures. Hope you've had a good week, mine has been a bit crazy. So glad it's the weekend yeyyy
so much better than watching TV...
So neat! Love how you use the term POP.
These are fascinating.
They are so pretty. I can certainly understand why you would want to keep taking their pictures. So fascinating too.
Nice job Sandra...think you for being such a committed photographer. I would never get to see them bloom with out you...beautiful.
great photo subjects, Sandra, and enjoyed seeing the various stages too.
They are gorgeous in all stages. I love them in full bloom against the morning sky.
Do you have a reclining lawn chair? Put it under the tree and be comfortable.
I never get tired of seeing your pictures of these beautiful blossoms. I really like your time-sequence collage.
You did a great job shooting over your head. These are beautiful!
That's so special, Sandra!
So pretty!
I think I remember these unusual flowers from last year. They are weird but pretty. sandie

Stunning captures. Must have been hard to wait for them to bloom.
