Description
The flower of this cereus cactus opened around midnight, while I hovered around it with a flashlight in one hand and my little Canon S95 camera in the other, using my white t-shirt as a reflector. A sphinx moth the size of a hummingbird, drunk on a fragrance so sweet you could taste it, repeatedly crashed into me, fell to the deck, got up again, and resumed its frenzied, buzzing search for paradise -- while I found it.
