Ba-looming

Brassavola nodosa 'Little Stars';
nestled with our sprouting seed potatoes.
This little sucker becomes fragrant at night, and
fills an entire room with an intense, spicy-sweet scent.
The boys enjoy inspecting and sniffing it every evening.
(We have divisions for interested parties.)

Epiphyllum (hybrid unknown)
Squeeze calls it Epiphyllum 'Don', named for
the former co-worker that gave it to him.
[When I met the old duffer, he was wearing
his t-shirt backwards. What a dude.]
The color of this "orchid cactus" bloom is so vibrant,
that looking straight into it tickles my brain.
