| Epiphyllum – Midnight Bloom |
For our family, this is the most exciting time – when the Epiphyllum blooms. We will all rush out from our house around 10 pm and witness it’s arrival, my dad will be walking in and out of the house every hour to peep at the process. My mum, oh well, she is too sad to see the spectacular bloom and how it’s life will be gone in the next couple of hours. I will wait with my father and put him to sleep after he has had enough of time with his flowers, for now that is. I will have my shears ready by the next morning and cut them down for our soup of the night.
