Night-Blooming Cereus at 203 Poage Farm Road
Second blooming of the year, both times with large, multiple blossoms, each eight or nine inches across. 
On this occasion, September 10th, 2012, the flowers opened not at night but at dawn.  Provided quite a nice show over coffee!

(The plant is a descendent from a cutting Bob Messner gave us 50 years ago, taken from a Cereus he'd brought to Germany from Venezuela)
