Yesterday I posted images of an Epicactus hybrid with three flowers at different stages of blooming, Today I show another hybrid where the flowers also opened sequentially but a much shorter period, such that they were all fully open together. These are smaller than the previous one, the "cups" being about 10cm diameter.

These were shot in shade, except the last. The twiggy background of the first image more closely resembles the natural habitat of the parent species of the hybrid.

The stereos are crosseye.

Olympus EM-1, (aperture priority), Olympus 4/3 50mm f2 macro, 1/40 f11 ISO 800, 1/13 f9, 1/15 f10, 1/320 f13 ISO 320, hand-held.

Thanks, Morris.

I nearly didn't use it. It is my favourite too but I thought the background might not be well-received.

There are some update images on the pink one

Thanks, Hayath.

Today a very special cactus flower opened for the first time. I have been waiting weeks for that an was not disappointed.. I hope it will open a little wider tomorrow.

These are lovely flowers and great group shots. I have a few similar jungle cactus in my garden but they are all white / cream night flowers and I've yet to get a shot that does them justice.

Thanks. I have one night flowering species. You probably need f16 for the huge flowers.
