This stunning bloom appears very rarely and only at night. It is a highly fragrant succulent that is native to South America.
Lady of the night - 'Dama da noite': Epiphyllum oxipetalum
Radical, I am not terribly sure where its natural habitat would be. I assume tropical, as it grows mainly in Brazil, Mexico and some parts of Asia. One way or another, it would be hard to photograph it in its natural habitat, as it only flowers at night and tropical jungle (I'm dramatizing of course) somewhat loses its appeal at night ; )
The flower dies very soon after picking, so it isn't the kind of thing you can have sitting in a vase. It dies with the first hint of dawn too.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
Please FULL VIEW all these amazing pieces of ART. Visit the artists pages and give them a :+fav and your support. Thank you for taking the time........
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example.

It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More

Remember, remember the fifth of November,
The gunpowder, treason and plot,
I know of no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot
