Bunga Bakawali Epiphyllum oxypetalum

A time lapse photo shots of our recent bakawali.  I have to thank you Izyan, Sadon, Saiful, Salim, Jaja and Nizam. They took turns to look after the whole video and photo sessions, and viewed for themselves the rare bakawali blooming and smelled for themselves the extravagant fragrance. Erina from Putrajaya who happened to be here popped in to see a part of the process. 


I remembered about a blogger friend who asked for 4 bunga bakawali as traditional treatment for her sick brother. Kakdah will dry the flower , and will soon get 3 more for her.

But the whole flowering process is unique, opening just for the night....

    2. saya ada dgr jugak..kembang bakawali berenjis darah... betul ke mitos?

      Delete

    3. Masa kelopak bunga bakawali mula terbuka, yang keluar adalah aroma wangian yang sangat mengasyikan. Renjisan darah saya tak nampak...... biar itu kekal sebagai mitos saja.

  5. You really took a lot of trouble to capture this flower for each hour from one night to early morning.
    Its a pity the flower last only a night.
    I guess she is a queen of the night - this Cactus Orchid.
