The Blossom Withers

The cactus with 24 buds has been popping the last couple of days. Last night 4 more opened. At about 5am this morning when I got up, they were WIDE open. By the time it was light enough to shoot at using a reasonable ISO, it was 6:30am & they had already started to close. An hour later, they were almost completely closed.

Seems like a wonderful opportunity for a time-lapse.

Hadn't thought about that idea. The blossoms will have to cooperate & open on my days off.
