Almost every year, I seek to capture the enchanting unfolding of night-blooming cereus flowers. Each giant blossom of these cactus vines blooms for just one night. Here we see the full panoply of these beautiful flowers as they explode in Florida along with a time-lapse of them opening as evening falls. Video (c) 2024 by Chris Kridler, ChrisKridler.com.
