After the dinner and party at the Raquet Club, we came to my house to play Mexican Train, and at 9:30 went to Olga’s down the street to watch her night-blooming cereus open. Gorgeous. (Click photos to enlarge)

I love these — the first one I saw was in China. I had a couple in San Diego and last year a friend here gave me one. It’s busy growing right now. 🙂
