I saw the big blooms on this Argentinian Giant cactus by the side of the street so I pulled over to get some photos. However it was already around 1:00 PM and the heat of the day was starting to "melt" the blooms.
These are night blooming cactus so the blooms open up after sun down but as the following day heats up they start to wilt giving them a melted look.
They are such stunning flowers to only last for one day!

That is a lot of work to do for just one day of bloom!
Fantastic - Good Eye & Thanx For Sharing - Well Done
Cheers
Fascinating!
Interesting, I never knew that about this cactus. Super photos and info.
It's nice to see something so pretty come out of something so prickly.
Your statement is spot on... such stunning flowers to last only one day!! Nature never ceases to amaze me.
They look like they probably smell nice.
I know how it feels to melt in the heat Sharon but I'm one hundred percent sure I don't do it as beautifully as this 😉 well spotted 💮
