    That cactus is gorgeous. I can't believe it is in Tampa; looks more like an Arizona cactus. How long do the blooms last?

    unfortunately, the blooms only open at night and are done when the sun hits them.

    Paula R, I can say unfortunately about two plants. One bright red Lily in my pond that closes about 9:00 am and it is the most beautiful one I have. The other is a China Doll tree that has huge white flowers on the ground by the time I look at it. I'm not a morning person. I still love your cactus.

    Paula R., that's one restaurant I've not visited, nor heard of, yet. I'm game!! (No pun intended.) It would seem I'm in between you and Leida. When do you two wish to get together? I'll let you two confer, and I'll just fall into line.

    Leida you're a doll! I just love your sense of humor!!! As to suspense - uh, sometimes. Just depends. Knowing that I don't have an over abundance of patience, a little suspense goes a long long way!!!

    It must have been so exciting when it bloomed. Did the blossoms have any fragrance?
