Cool OT Pics
I aquired a small piece of this plant a few years ago from a family member , he called it Queen Of The Night. It grew from one piece into this tall vinelike plant with big leaves. I was told that it could get these big blossoms, and it would bloom at about 10 P.M. if the conditions were right Then a few weeks ago..they started to form..daily they grew...alot! Then today I could tell that one was about to bloom..and tonight when I walked out onto the patio the first thing that hit me was the strong fragrance....and then this!

beatiful
They are beautiful, and they smell great, don't they.
We used to have one, but I think the cats did not like it or something. At some point it went backwards till we could not do anything to save it. I'll try again when I find one. FM

Looks like it has a white aiptasia in the center
Next frag, hold for me...I have a little garden/jungle in my backyard that it would look nice in.

 It does look like an aiptasia in the middle. That is the kind I don't have to zap. Carole those are nice pictures thanks for sharing.

Thanks all! A few people have said it looked like an aiptasia..LOL and also referenced the Dennis The Menace Movie{I did'nt see it}. It was a beautiful thing..too bad they only last one night. There are two more blooms that look like they will pop tonight. I am curious why the strong fragrance and night blooming thing? Maybe bats or moths would go to it?
