12 hours. It was shrivelled by the afternoon. This same bract will flower again and again, so I'll keep my eyes peeled. I've only seen one open like this each year, but I'm determined to discover if each one is different.

The wait was certainly worth while - this is beautiful. And it only lasts 12 hours?
