Dama De Noche

 Have you seen  this beautiful  and awesome plant blooms at night?  These days , having  this flower in someone's backyard is already rare. We are lucky to have one in our home.

Before, I thought that it's just Katakataka plant but I'm wrong.  It's a gorgeous Dama De Noche. One day my mother observe  that  there's something growing at the edges of it's leaves. Then  we've become very  happy because we found out that its  flower buds. We waited and waited until it became a little bigger . 

Awesome Dama De Noche Flower Bud

We are so careful  not to move  its leaves.  The flowers is so sensitive and in just one mistake or wrong movement its precious shoot will fall.My mother even put a string to protect its flower yet some of its flower buds fell until only one flower bud remained.

It appears that the other buds became a sacrifice to maintain and sustain the flower left.But those sacrifices really worth everything. One evening, mother joyfully called me  and said that it finally bloomed. It's indeed a wonderful flower showering its fragrance and beauty in midst of darkness.
