Selenicereus grandiflorus
After several years, the selenicereus plant has bloomed!.
The buds are quite interesting. They start out as a fuzzy white spot on the stem, then grow to look like a rabbits' foot.
The flower bud pushes through the fuzz and elongates. To the immature mind, this can be a great source of silly laughter...:)
A little more dignified...

Almost ready
Like fireworks!
The next morning. See the new little bud in the background?

Seriously my favorite of your flowers. I still have the picture you sent me from the previous year.

The blooming of these flowers will always be a major celebration to me. My kids have grown up with me announcing "the cereus is going to bloom tonight", so often that it doesn't seem like a big deal to them, but I'm always astonished...:)
