I love them all , but I really look forward to the flower of Epiphyllum crenatum .
This opened up very slowly indeed compared to the others .
One petal at a time .
I could smell a slight lemony fragrance , which usually gets stronger as it opens into the warmth of the greenhouse .
The greenhouse is not heated except by the warmth of the sun , which was shining up in a beautiful blue sky today.....unfortunately there is a chilly East wind blowing. This combination is not good , as I think I,ve mentioned before....if I close the windows it gets too hot ..and if I open the roof windows , I am always afraid that the wind might catch it and tear it off !
So I do hope it eases up soon . I have now closed it up for the night and covered my seedlings up with a piece of fleece . Runnerbeans , French beans and and a tray of Nicotiana sylvestris . It is going to be cold tonight in Mullion with this clear sky .
Nearly fully opened .
It still was not quite fully opened when I went up to the greenhouse to close the windows . Oh ! My goodness it is just so gorgeous !
I hope it will still be there tomorrow and fully opened up .
