November Rains -Three

After flowering earlier this year, the lily with the luminescent flowers -Proiphys amboinensis flowered again this November. The buds came some time in mid-November with the rains. A fluffy insect crawled all over Proiphys amboinensis when it had its buds.

After five days the buds started blooming. The flowers stay open even through the night and remain attached to the stalks for as long as two weeks.
