Echinopsis 2010

The last time it flowered it had only one flower. Apparently it's the ambition of owners to get as many flowers as possible.
I can't describe the perfume, it is exquisite, the most sublime fragrance that I've ever inhaled.

The flowers opens at night and  last for only one day before it begins to wilt.
Bottom photo shows how flower begins from a few buds, then grows over many days before reaching maturity..
