Tangled Thread - Tips, Trick and Tutorials in Sewing & Stitching

A view from my window

by Chloe on June 6th, 2008

The Lifestyles channel is participating in a channel-wide challenge (boy, try saying that three times fast!) called “A View From My Window”.

I’m not sharing my window (you guys got to see that quite recently anyhow), but I am sharing what’s growing in my window.  I posted these photos last year, when I had three buds on my night-blooming cereus.

Well, this year I have ten flower buds!

That’s a close-up of two of the buds… and here’s a close-up of one of the single ones:

The buds are tiny now, but in a few weeks they’ll be inches across!  I’m going to try and set up a webcam, or do some time-lapse photography to share with you all.  It’s quite an experience to see the flowers bloom - you can literally see them moving.

My hoyas are still blooming enthusiastically - in fact, they make the entire house smell like perfume at night.
