Well the
local night blooming Cereus named "Audrey" may have just made a a new North American record for number of blooms in a single night. We counted 23 on Friday night. Unfortunately my flash was not cooperating for the entire event, but here are a few of the scenes from the festivities.
Look at that delicate reproductive apparatus Audrey sports ... eerily hermaphroditic. The last time I posted bout Audrey, I received a comment from a reader in Hawaii who shared with me a
link to a plant that grows on a wall surrounding her church in Hawaii.

Wow that's impressive.
I had no idea that they grew so large! I have a tiny one that I grew from a cutting. Right now it is growing contentedly on a windowsill. If it gets as large as yours, I may have to move most of the furniture out of the (tiny) bedroom.
Wow! That is an amazing and beautiful flower. Isn't nature wild?
I've seen these before - they're beautiful. My local nursery doesn't carry them (surprise!). Does anyone know where I can get one?
If so, please email me the info @ Jodyshouse@yahoo.com.
Thanks!!
