Cactus Blossom

Closed for the Evening

The blooms on this cactus only open for less than a handful of hours a day.
Plus they will only last for a few days.

If it doesn't rain all day, the flowers will again be fully open tomorrow afternoon.
Meanwhile, I think there is a serenity in their slumber during the peak of flowering.
