Beautiful!  Is this a night blooming plant?  Is there a scent?  My neighbor had a night blooming cyrious (sp?) that she nutured for 5-6 years till it bloomed. (She could make rocks grow & bloom.. :roll:) Had the most wonderful scent!  I still remember her running over & getting us kids up out of bed @ 12:30AM on a school night to see it. Was huge & looked somewhat like your pic from what I can remember(was 10-11yrs old..)  Congratulations!!

Suprstkr.  Holy smoking midnight flowers!!!  Now that must have been a thing of such beauty, and I can imagine, through my mind's eye, what this scent the flower must have emitted, you are a very fortunate person to have witnessed this event, after so many, many years.  Beautiful and most wonderful day in this great life we all live, love and share.  Cindi
