Evening Arrangement

Tucson, AZ

Catching a more traditional perspective on some of the flowers from this particular bloom of this Harrisia sp. cactus.
Their beauty only lasts one night --- pretty remarkable since this cactus usually only flowers 1 day per year.
This night's bloom was preceded by a nice early evening Monsoon shower, with some of the water droplets still visible.
The green tree bark is from a Palo Verde. I used an iPhone for the illumination.

The flowers are magnificent, made even more special by their so infrequent blooming. A fabulous shot. V
