This is the blossom of a night blooming Cereus!
I transplanted the cactus that produces these blooms from a few segments my neighbor gave to me. Two years and now I can enjoy the results!
After photographing the blooms above I went around the yard and collected all the Southern Lubber Grasshoppers I could grab!
The final count was 71 and there were some I missed in the darkness.
Grasshoppers are strange.
Grasshoppers down here in FLORIDA are strange. I had never seen a grasshopper that wasn't green until I moved down here!
ReplyDeleteI'm curious.... what did you do with all of those 'hoppers after the photo shoot?
I just let them hop away. They really do not damage a signifigacant number of plants in the yard so I do not have cause to dispose of them.
