I have three pots of little variety 'Queen of the Nights'.
In Indonesia it's also called Wijaya Kusuma.
Time by time...
It's really a great experience to meet this flowers blossom.
They only blossom in the night.
I have two varieties of Ephypilum, there are big and little variety.
These are my little variety.
This variety blossom longer, and more often blooming.
The little variety usually blossom from 09.00 PM till 04.00 AM.
The big one only blossom on the peak of the midnight.
And they only blossom during one hour.
The big variety is rare flowering, only twice or three time a year.
Also only a little amount of flowers on a plant.
So ... someone who can see this big queen of the night will get a lucky.
Really lucky person...
Only a patient person will get this luck.
I invite you 'await' the arrival of my Queen.
Look the changes...

Have a wonderful night with your 'Queen'.
Have a nice weekend.
What a beautiful and special flower! Does it smell nice too?
ReplyDeleteThey have nice smell, soft scent.
DeleteIt must depend on moths for pollination. I don't know of any plants like that here but then I am probably asleep when they bloom if we have any. You have a special plant for sure!
ReplyDeleteThe little variety is more wise, cause this variety blooms earlier and longer. So we can enjoy the bloom longer. Before we asleep, we already enjoy the bloom.
DeletePlants that depend on moth pollination often have a strong scent at night. Often scents in the garden are stronger at dusk, Evening primrose is one in our country that flowers at dusk. Lots of night time flowers are white too so they show up more in the gloom,
ReplyDeleteYour queen is beautiful.
Yes, you all right. Here, So many night bloomers have white color and have soft scent in the evening and become stronger in the night.
DeleteNight bloomer! Magnificent! Thanks for sharing, Endah. Linda@Wetcreek Blog
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda. Have a nice weekend.
DeleteWhat a surprise. I have a Queen of Night too but a different specie. I see the stamens on your flowers are white too, mostly these are yellow. Does it also have such an overwhelming sweet fragrance at night? Love the flowers.
ReplyDeleteYes, we get overwhelming sweet fragrance from them. The fragrance become stronger and sweet in the midnight.
DeleteWow, so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Have a nice weekend.
