Cereus Bloomed

Finally on Friday night the big event came about.  I had watched it all day and about 8 to 8:30pm realized it was actually going to bloom. Had four friends come over and watch for awhile. It seemed to be a figment of the imagination when you saw the flower actually move. Oh, to have had a video camera to capture it. May try to borrow one for the next event.

As the blossom was near the floor, it was difficult to get down and take pictures. Not for you younguns maybe but I am after all a granny, yard or no yard.

Will be repotting it with the help of at least one friend. It is heavy and unweildy to boot.  It needs some tender loving care, so I hope I am up to the task. Another friend told me she has a book on the Cereus plant and will loan it to me. That should give me some ideas for pruning and feeding this magnificent plant.

Thank you for sharing all your thoughts and tips.     More to Come Later
