Epiphyllum 曇花一現!

Epiphyllum Blossoming! The flower looked amazingly beautiful and elegant with pleasing fragrance. I didn't even know there were buds. This type of flower just enjoys giving surprises. Their buds are always hidden in between their huge flat leaves, and the blossoming will only happen at night. What's worse is the blossoming only lasts 4 to 5 hours, meaning the flowers die before dawn. We will never get to see their huge and fragrant flowers during the daytime.
