I posted a few days ago that this October seems more like July. We've had record high temperatures this weekend and it was just too hot to do much outside.
Then when I returned home this evening after several hours away, I went into the sunroom and I could smell that something was blooming. I recognized the scent, and thought, "It can't be that."
But it was.
Hidden behind the blinds of the sunroom, the Night-blooming Cereus was blooming again.
I never even saw the flower bud, because it was hidden behind the blinds.
My night bloomer once bloomed in September, but to my knowledge, this is the first time it has ever bloomed in October.
I'm sure glad I didn't miss it, because it would be a sad event for such a flower to bloom alone with no one to admire it.
But I'm all confused by this weather, by this flower blooming now.

Pray for rain!
I'm glad you didn't miss your bloom.

Everyone and everthing is confused. I'll be inside for the next few days - 90's again with no rain in sight. Did I say that before?
Did you catch the mole?
How neat that you had a little surprise flower to cheer you on, though.
The hot weekend in Chicago was disastrous for the Marathon and one unfortunately runner lost their life.
It's suppose to rain tonight and then cool off into the 60's for the rest of the week . More Fall-like October weather instead of the July kind we've been having.
Nice photo, too!

Right now I am wishing it would cool off a bit so I can move rocks for my garden remodeling project a little more comfortably.
I posted a diagram today of what we aregoing to do out there, and am starting to feel like maybe we have bit off a little more than we can easily chew. I am having trouble deciding what to plant in the proposed beds, I'm not even sure how far apart to put stuff. I guess I'll figure it out.
I'm so glad you didn't miss that beautiful flower, Carol!
Enjoy the warm weather.
