So unusual. I don't tknow this plant at all, but I love that you have shown it in all is forms. Thank you Isabel.

It seems they like it at your place as it's flowering so profusely! I have sometimes been lucky to see the flowers at our local zoo/botanical garden.

wonderful flower series
Happy Summer Sunday!

BREATHTAKING

A gorgeous little series Isabel............the flowers are gorgeous and it's such a shame the only flower once. Leaving your hands in the first and second PiPs was great for scale. They are really big flowers!

No, the plant blooms many times each year, but the flowers only last one night ...

Ah, I see.............I definitely misread your narrative........sorry!

Fabulous series!

Beautiful flowers ;)

Kurze aber beeindruckende Blüte;***

A most unusual flower. A very sad story about the bats.

Their flowering is somewhat like that of the moonflower I posted a picture of earlier. A vine that produces large, white flowers that last for one day, and then fade. It has been flowering frequently in the house.

Of course, daylilies produce a number of flowers, but each lasts one day only. Talking with a younger friend (now gone) he said he'd never plant them. "Flowers should last more than a day!"

Super image's Isabel.
Have a great week.
