Gone last night

Give me a few thousand dollars -- new camera, lenses, lights, an assitant -- and you would have seen these things in all their glory last night.

They're night-blooming cereuses -- I've written about them here -- and they are strictly one-shot wonders, though in this case there were dozens of wonders in one night.

But at any rate, thousands, or milions, couldn't have conveyed the scent. I think they perfume the night air for miles.

Robert, who's been in Key West for a few weeks, says our cereuses there (children of our main plant, which is at least 10 feet high), have been blooming profusely as well.

We spread fragrance where we can.
