Nightbloom, photograph gallery by Peter Collins
Life span differs for each of us. For one magical flower, life consists of a few magical hours in the dead of night. For those fortunate to see this event, they are rewarded with a most beautiful blossom filled with a magical fragrance. Peter Collins spent a night of wonder photographic this event for all of us to share. Thanks Peter.

This gallery consists of 15 photographs.

Peter watched the growing bloom for a couple of nights before life began in earnest. If you were to measure the bud in the photograph, it would be over 12 inches long!
