Another amazing cactus flower!
Your flowers are breathtaking, all of them and your exquisite quality photos make possible for me (and others maybe) to see them at least on photo.
I'm glad each time you share your work at Macro Flowers Saturday.
Please correct your backlink!

My goodness, this is an incredible reward after a seven year wait. I have never seen anything like it....such an exotic bloom, so amazing in its beauty. You will have to let us know how long the bloom of this showy beauty lasts!!! I hope it blooms annually from now on!

Jacob said...

Breathtaking, JM. You know, you ought to do a book of photos of your flora!

This has to be one of the most stunning plants I have ever seen Jose, I can see where it got its name from. That flower is amazing. It does not look to to be of the cacti family. You must have a fantastic place to have all these beauties growing there?

I agree with Jacob.....

Nice Selenicereus anthonyanus by the way. Ep. Anguliger has white flowers and less angular leaves.

@Lyes: Thank you for very useful information.
