The night Queen

wow its fantastic

Thanks Stickitoffee
Unfortunatelly I was not home... I teach at night in a city 85km north of my home.
That's why hubby took the picture :)
He did a good job

He certainly did! Will it still be out when you get back home?

Teaching can be tough, don't work too hard!

Very nice.

beautiful white colour.

Hi Stickitoffee... nope :( this flower opens just one night... and has a lovely scent. Next year... I hope

Thanks Johnjoe

Thanks Bik

oh aleyna, only one night? do you have any more of them? its an amazing flower

(Mouldy smiles sadly.)
Only one night, after the love & care you've given?
By the time you get back home it's head will be hung in shame. Or exhaustion! Lol.
Do you teach English, Aleyna?
Hi, Sticki!

Hi Sticki, yes only one night, and this year it is on its second bloom, and I'll be away of home again... "wot" a bad timing.
I saw the little bud and thought to myself... "this time you could wait until thursday night, would you"
I have fingers crossed for tonight... :)

Hey Mouldy,
It will be proudly up until the sun touch the sky with its light, then it will slowly close its petals and keep its scent inside.
I wish I'd be teaching English! Not even on my best dreams!!!!
I teach Physiology for health Sciences programs and Research Method and Technic for the other programs.

Aleyna, could you get a little suitcase for your plant and take it with you ~ i would hate to miss that flowering if it was mine!

hi mouldy!

Well, it's Thusday, now & I hope you got home in time for the big scent. Lol.

Good Morning Sticki...
The lady is waiting...

Take a look if you can :)

Mouldy
I guess the big night will be tonight :) I posted a Picture of the bud.

oh fabulous! i found your picture!

i hope its tonight and i hope you will be there!!

you could have a party for her?

LOL Sticki, but wow thats a great idea... any suggestions?

a midnight party! it can only start when the flower opens, after that all food and drinks flower related? so you could drink margueritas ???

and you could eat pretty salads decorated with edible flowers?

deal... I'll have the midnight party for the Queen... some salmons samich and green salad with red rose petals...freixenet champagne brut... will take pictures... :)

Mouldy wonders if Aleyna & Sticki have parties on such flimsy excuses every night. Lol.

Oh Aleyna that sounds perfect! Rose petals too!? Love to see the pictures! ...... Mouldy.....flimsy excuse? This is a major event!!

I won't even look for the translation for flimsy... :) LoL

Seeing as it's such a special occasion I'll get my longjohns out of the pawn shop, then. Lol.

no translation for longjohns... lol....

They're winter underwear from waist to ankle, Aleyna.
A sort of trousers, but worn under the trousers to protect from the cold.
They're unfashionable, in some circles, due to their links with old age & social class. Lol.
Naturally, nobody would dream of putting their underwear into a pawn shop, which is why used the idea.
Do you have anything like pawn shops in Brazil?

Thanks for the explanation. As I said before we are in the coldest part of this country (if you can call it cold). There are this kind of underwear offered in regular stores.
Of course we have pawn shops, but I don't think they have any kind of clothes.
The female league against câncer and some other social institutions have "flea markets" where you can find clothes.

Our pawn shops used to take clothes back in the 1950's & 60's, as my step-father would pawn his suit on Monday, then redeem it on Friday.
I must check to see if they still do. LOL. ;-)

LOL! :o)

I could pawn my Autumn clothes (worn in my photo) until later this year. :-)
