B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!! *__*

Thanks for this great shot!

Thank you!

I recognized that flower just from the thumbnail. I've got a cactus that puts out a bloom exactly like that one, about twice a year. They only last about a day before they wither up, too... nice shot. :3

They're incredibly fragrant too.

There were about 9 blooms on this plant the night I took this shot. The smell was amazing.

awww *.*

My new favorite flower.

Okay, I never had a favorite flower, but now I do.

Hehe. It's quite a flower for sure. :)

Yaaay! It's absolutely beautiful, great, awesome... I mean... the only word, that I can say is: WOOOOW!!!!! :-D

Thank you very much. :D

You made it with the built in flash? It really can do such a thing?

Just kidding, if you can make THIS with the built in flash imagine the power of a 'real' flash in your hands...

Yeah...I know I need a new flash. :P

Hehehehe we all need!

This is the most beautiful flower I have ever seen. The picture is spectacular!

Thank you!

I don't think my photo quite does the original justice, but I think I made a good effort. :)

These flowers really are something else.

What a beautiful, special flower <3

They're quite wonderful. :)

And they have a very strong fragrance.

Where can they be found? X3

This particular species I believe naturally occurs in Mexico and South America, as well as some parts of Asia.

This example belongs to my neighbor.

Oh, why didn't I think of that? :p
I thought it was a part of the flora where you were living

nah, nothing too exotic here. :)

Same here X3

OMG!!! I thought I was the only one who knew about these.. I have one- she hasn't bloomed yet, but she's still only about 8 years old... my mom's on the other hand did the same thing this one did- had about 8 or 9 blooms on it all open at once- made the whole neighborhood smell WONDERFUL. I'm still waiting on mine to get completely pot bound and it seems like next year I may get blooms :)
