Looking at photos I scanned from 50 year-old film roll I found some of a pot plant blooming. It came back to me. We had a night-blooming cereus, also known as Princess of the Night and other names, at home which did nothing most of the time. But once on a rare occasion it would burst into bloom. I think in all my childhood years this only happened twice. This would be cause for wonder and picture taking. The blooms would last only one night. Here are the three photos I took, perhaps in 1973.
