Hi Heidi! The Queen of the Night is certainly a very special flower and I always wish that each flower would last for more than one night. You have documented the life of the flower very well here. When mine are flowering I usually have to go out about 10 pm to get them fully opened, then even at 6 am they have withered. Fragrance is fantastic! Thankyou for sharing and for your kind words in my Calendar g/b. Best wishes.. Gladys, Western Australia.

Hi Heidi, We had a night blooming cactus one time, but I don't think it was the same as this one. I enjoyed this album very much. Carol

Dear Heidi, this is a fantastic album, and as I said before I JUST LOVE THIS CACTUES FLOWER!!!!Thank you for your kind words on my summer album. Those green leaves a must confess don't know what they are, it is a small tree with red flowers like fingers..this one I took in a friends garden, I will post the flower so you might know it. I do not have time to look it up in books I have hadrly time to tend to my 2 usernames..and I am ashamed. I also have family visitors from outside the country and all this happens togehter. You are so sweet that you visited me despite all the crowd of friends and favorites you have. Herzliche Gruesse/kathy

Hi Heidi, this album is wonderful! I also dedicated an album to the Queen of the Night (search for member ykarelic8). Thanks for visiting my albums and for your very kind words in my guestbook. Wishing you a wonderful week, Yair.

Heidi, What an astonishing album, I am so glad I looked at this tonight. It is a beautiful story of a very spectacular flower. I have never heard of it, so quickly to be born and very quickly death. But while it is here it truly is a Queen in all her glory. Thank you for sharing the spellbinding story to go along with your outstanding captures. Leigh

Hi Heidi! What an incredible album! I commend your determination to chronicle the life of this beautiful queen! Your captions added so much to the album, filling us with anticipation, joy and then, sadness. Fantastic! Thanks for sharing with us all...take care...Darlene in Upstate NY

Thid album brings back memories...my mother hasd 3 of the ugliest cacti in the world, but one magical summer night. 23 buds opened at once. Can you imagine their perfume? Jenny

The Beauty and Composition of your shots does you credit. Keep on snapping ... Brian

said waterl00 2006.05.23 at 05:13:57 PDT

hello Heidi and what a wonderful job you have done of telling this story in words and photos. There is something rather poignant in reading about the life cycle of plants coming to an end but you have handled it all VERY well indeed. Now I want to thank you very much for looking at my new Southern Ocean album and for writing such nice words in the guest book. It was a real mish mash of photos, believe me, and the scanner was working overtime. I hope all is better for you both now and that you can settle down without fear of floods, storms, fires etc. You could certainly do with out those. Thanks once again and big hugs from the land down under, Peter

Hi Heidi & Phil Selenicereus grandiflora is beautiful! Thanks for "catching" such nice photos. Does the flower smell as nice as it looks? warm regard charlotte y victor

said charlottevictor 2006.05.17 at 11:30:14 PDT

Hi Heidi, I commented many times in you albums and for some strange reason I never get any response ---wchich of course is not mandatory -- from you. I admire your photos, the place where you live and your origins. Myself I was born in Europe too.************** Now to your lovely "queen" :yes it is one of the wonders of nature and I have one too here in California, actually I have also an entire album dedicated to this incredible flower titled " One and one ..still is one" with the lyrics of a famous song. I have done it in July 2004. If you have time you can take a quick look. Thank you for reminding me of the wonders of this Queen!! Nice regards and congratulations.kathy

How is the little Mex -Bug, I am so amused to see you have taken this name for yourself, and just think it started with a typing error He He, anyway it is only fitting and right that I have the honour of being first to this very wonderful but sad album, It is like in real life beauty fades very quick but ugly stays ugly. thats what Carolynn keeps tell me not sure whether she means the beauty part or the ugly bit. it looks a little like a hibiscus, but I know that cactue flowers can be so nice. Thanks for the GB, and the 13 views, not to worry there is always another day, besides hearing from you is so much more important to me after all those fires, when will the disasters end, Do take care and give Phil my regards, at least three bug hugs to keep you going until the next time Ken. #####
