This flower is from a little cactus of the Cereus family. The complete flower is about 15-20 cm long.

Thanks for looking

Wonderful sharpness, and the image has a nice organic feel that brings the bloom to life. Looks like there is a dust speck above the "s" in "vista" and 20% of the way up. It's the only thing that intrudes into your beautiful whites.

Daniele and Loana: Beautiful subject and a fine capture. I'm familiar with this species so for me I think I would like to see it just a mite brighter. Very nice capture of the subtle petal details. Well done. >=))>

Thank you all for the kind comments. We are really keen on succulentae; the variety of forms and colours offers good chances for photography.
