Echinopsis mirabilis on 6-22-19.

Hello everyone! I hope this post finds you all well. I have been watching the Echinopsis mirabilis (Flower of Prayer) pretty closely for the past few days because it had two buds getting close to opening. Earlier this afternoon, around 4:30, I checked on it and both buds were standing up like they were going to flower once it was dark.

Then at 7:46, the buds looked like this… Hmmm… One was drooping! Now, how did that happen? Why is one drooping when it was standing up around 4:30? Somehow I must have goofed and maybe it flowered the night before…

Then at 10:20 PM I went out and saw the flower had opened.

It is quite exciting when the Echinopsis mirabilis flowers!

I know I say this a lot, but I have taken more photos and I am behind posting. A few days ago (maybe it was last week), I mentioned I was going to try and post every day I take photos, which is about every day. Well, as you can see that didn’t happen. Here it is 1 AM as I am finishing this post.

Sooooo… That’s it for now! Be safe, stay positive and always be thankful.
