My Epiphyllum oxypetalum bloomed!

Early last week I noticed they were starting to swell. Was it time?
When the end started to separate and I could see the individual petals I figured that was a sign.
Sure enough, later that night (9:10 pm) I went out to check on it and was rewarded with this...
In case you've never heard of this plant, it only blooms at night, and each flower only lasts that night. 
They're pollinated by bats and large moths. Some say the fragrance is strong, but I only detected a light scent.

One flower opened that first night, and two additional buds held the promise of future flowers.
My hand for scale, in case you were wondering about the size of the flowers.
The back-side...
I have plants of 3 different origins stuffed into that hanging metal container. A piece I bought in California back in 2019, a piece sent to me by fellow-blogger Janet (The Queen of Seaford), and a plant I bought at Bauman Farms last summer. It's that last one that's blooming.
Here's what the flower looked like the next morning, photos taken at 7:49 am.
And 2:00 pm.
Fast forward to just before 9pm later that second night and the next two had started to open.
They are remarkably beautiful flowers, and I feel lucky to have been able to see them bloom in my garden.
Here it is about an hour later and further along in it's development. That's the first flower to have opened in the background.
The plant itself is extremely easy to care for. It's outside in the summertime in very little direct sun (only early morning), but lots of indirect bright light. I water when the soil feels dry. In the winter months it's in our basement, which stays cooler than the upstairs (mid 60's I'm guessing) and in a low light corner. I might have given it a little water last winter, but not much. Of course if you live in a climate warmer than my Zone 8 then you could get away with treating it like the epiphyte it is and grow it outdoors, in a tree, year round. Either way, you really should grow this plant!
