Have a wonderful weekend!

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

"Know ye that the Lord he is God; it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful unto Him and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endures to all generations" Psalm 100:3-5

Night-blooming Cactus

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, September 4, 2024

I am thankful for beauty in the night. My Night-blooming Cactus bloomed last night!
I think this type of Epiphyllum is called Queen of the Night.
The blooms are large and stay open only one night. They have a strong odor that attracts night-flying insects for pollination.

Have a blessed day!
