notes:

A cactus flower from my garden.. they appear, maybe five or six , once a year …most open same day, so the bud here is strange, it opened one day later…
I love them.. maybe coz they live one night only.. I feel their ephemeral life makes them special..
I can watch other flowers.. just a glance, coz I know I will see them again the next day, and coming ones.. and there will be more of them ready to blossom when the others die.. but when I watch this cactus flower, I try to fill my soul all of a sudden.. I try to intoxicate myself with its beauty… coz I know it will be brief.. and intense.. and this feeling will have to last a whole year.. until it will blossom again…

Wow, Sil. Truly beautiful - I think even more as you said because of their short life - stunning shot with incredible detail and color!

Lovely!
Salute!

so wonderful...so delicate and so well caught, with the perfect light. A so superb photo immortalizes it, thus we can contemplate it while awaiting the next one. The only perfume will miss us.. I love the fragile texture and the delicacy of the petals. This is a photo of the soul.
