Theatrical Screening ~*Marge Tindal*~  As the soft-of-sun began to yawn twi-of-night streaked ‘cross the lawn Ric Rac Cactus burst forth in bloom heady in fragrance of sweetest perfume~ For two years she sat there preening just for this theatrical screening Captured the spotlight for just one night But, by golly … she sure got it right~ When the morning sun rose in alarm She threw a perfumed kiss of adorn Exited stage left … with a wink to me "I always leave ‘em wanting more, you see ?"~ ~Ah, she was worth the wait~ Officially named - "Epiphyllum Cryptoscerus Anthonyanus" I just call her Queenie |

Marge, Both, your poem and the long awaited bloom center, deserve center stage! We have had a plant in our family for probably 70 or 80 years. During that time, we've only been privileged to see it bloom a half dozen times or so... Like yours, it was worth the wait. This brings back special memories. I am gently tucking this away in my library. Thank you for the wonderful gift. cathy |

Extraordinary, Marge! We had a plant like this that only bloomed once in a blue moon. I think I only saw it once, but it sure was worth it. This one is lovely, like its tendor!  ....jo |

I know these cacti, but after reading and viewing this beautiful presentation, I will forever think of her as "Nora Desmond". ready for her close-up, Mr. DeMille... Enjoyed. |

Dear Marge, you have caught the ephemeral charm of this flower so graciously! I bow to the beauty of this Divine flower and to you, poetess, who made this moment last into forever. Love and hugs. Margherita  |

How lovely! *S* Some things are definitely worth the wait... even when the wait is long and the pleasure brief. *S* Beautiful! |
