My Favorites - Cactus Flower

When Gary and I moved to Florida we stayed in a condo in the area near where we were going to build our house.  It was a great neighborhood and I enjoyed going for walks when the weather permitted. In a yard at the end of the street we lived on was a very large cactus which came into bloom during the spring.  It was such an amazing sight to see.  The flowers only bloom at night and would usually start to wilt by early dawn so you had to catch them in the early morning if you wanted to get any good pictures.  They are called Nightblooming Cereus and you can find more information here.  This is going to be one of my future paintings.
