a magnificent one day bloom

our neighbors, jean-luc and nicole, have this easter lily cactus

last night it grew a bud,

by this morning it had sent up this enormous flower,

by this evening it will have died.

      I wonder too. I am in southwestern France, so I am at a loss for many of these plant names. But my neighbor, Jean-Luc, will surely know. I will make a point to ask him :-)
