May and June are the perfect time of year to take an evening stroll
on the small island on the West Coast of Florida called Useppa.
Once a year a flower blooms here called
a Night Blooming Cirrus.
These flowers grow on a cactus-like vine
that wraps itself around some of the trees on this island.
If you are really lucky you may see as many as fifty blooms on one tree.
This is spectacular!
Each one of these beautiful flowers
only bloom one time, at night, once a year.
Here you see a bud getting ready to open
with one of our island friends the scorpion standing by.
The Night Blooming Cirrus in bloom
is truly something to see.
I hope your week is full of spectacular moments.
