Description
This is the sixth watercolor painting in my series of cactus blooms.
Number six is the Nightblooming Cereus Cactus.
I love the blooms of the cereus cacti that reside in our neighborhood in the desert of Arizona. Watching and waiting for the flowers to open for several
days after spotting the long, narrow buds just adds suspense to the event.
These lovely white and maroon flowers will open during the nighttime hours
and generally will last for one day before they wilt and drop off.
Apparently that is time enough for the bees and bats to enjoy the nectar and
perform their duty of pollination.
Most cacti will produce several blooms at a time and over a period of many days ensuring the possibility of seeing at least a few of these
gorgeous blooms.
