Night blooming cereus in Amherst
Flowers
Stereographs
Amherst (Mass.)
View of the Epiphyllum Hookeri (night-blooming cactus) photographed with magnesium light.
"There were parties to watch the rare night-blooming cereus unfold. It was not so uncommon in Amherst as in other places because of the Agricultural College. I recall one such occasion when a night-blooming cereus was sent us by Miss Greeley from Professor Crowell's home. We filled a large white china salad bowl with ice and put the flower in it at nine o'clock. The neighbors came in, a party of twelve, and at ten the flower began to open. For three hours it showed in all its glory. The next morning it was withered and dead." From "Around a Village Green" by Mary Adele Allen.
