One of our cactus plants flowers, the flower stays just one night

One night? Wow! There must be a really abundant supply of insects, assuming that's how it pollinates.

Yes, I was thinking that maybe they don't need insects to spread the pollen. Maybe all they need is wind. Thinking out loud here though.

Beautiful flower. Amazing it lives for just one night. The photo is lovely, Lyn. And taken at night too, that’s dedication!

Thanks Levina

Very nice. Does this one stays longer than just one night?

Spring Snowflakes

Snowflakes! I think these are the same as our "sneeuwklokjes". Snowdrops maybe. You photographed them well, Jack. A lovely image.

 

[Jack Dawe]

Thanks, Levina. At first I assumed that they were Snowdrops too, but they don't have the green marks on the leaves. Spring Snowflakes are a similar but different plant.

An older shot taken with my Canon, nifty-fifty, @ f/4, 1/100, ISO 160, and my long gone, Canon 80D. I love the 50mm prime lens, it's so versatile and dim light friendly.
