Night time is the right time

Hosed down the garden after work, in the dark. The temp won't go below 70 so I'm not too worried about fungus, though I tried to be very careful not to get the begonia coccinea wet as I'm trying to let it dry out completely between waterings. One of the night blooming cereus that has cemented itself to an interior wall has begun to send out new growth. The plant has grown up the wall and is growing across the ceiling hopefully these new sprouts will have a chance to really get glued down good. What a spectacular point of interest to have this branching out over the walls.

This was the beginning of the cereus. Note the sprouts of growth coming off main arms.


The real thing in the wild what a gorgeous plant.  (not mine, not my photo)
