Cacti are blooming. Night Beauty

I don’t know what the scientific name of this cactus species is, but it is popularly known as Night Beauty. The cactus shoots out a long shaft from its body, up to 20cm long and 1.5cm in diameter, which blooms into a beautiful flower up to 15cm in diameter with a delicate fragrance. The flower begins to bloom in the evening and blooms and fragrances for only one night. As the sun rises it fades. This year, the cacti on my windowsills bloomed especially abundantly. And one gave out three flowers at once, which opened at the same time. It is impossible not to capture this beauty on canvas. How great it is to convey the fragrance with colours!
