Night Blooming Cereus

9 09 2008

My dad has this crazy desert plant called a Night Blooming Cereus. This plant, which is also known as Queen of the Night, is a member of the cactus family. This plant is pretty nondescript most of the year, but once a year, on a midsummers night, it produces one heck of a pretty flower. The flower, which lasts only one night, seems to grow our of nowhere and produces a very pungent odor while it is blooming. The video consists of 250 still images shot with a Canon 5D over a period of 6 hours.
