我还爱种花 I Like Gardening Too - 昙花 Epiphyllum

..

The broad-leaved epiphyllum (Epiphyllum oxypetalum) is a particularly well-known species of epiphyllum. It bears large, strongly fragrant flowers, that bloom for a single night only.In Chinese, there is a saying "昙花一现" (tanhua yi xian) which means "to bloom briefly", alluding to the short lifespan of the flower, which only lasts one night.



This plant is grown at my balcony, and those pictures were taken within a week
