I've been watching this beauty slowly unfurl for days. The day before yesterday it was a narrow green caterpillar peeking out of the sepals. Yesterday it was a narrow pale green tube.
This morning it was a limp, dangling thing. I've peeked at it intermittently all day and then all of a sudden this evening it was this fresh, perfect blossom.
Incidentally, it is a brugmansia (or Angel's Trumpet). The sap or juice from any part of this plant is toxic, but the flowers are intensely fragrant in addition to being delicately beautiful.

Beautiful!
After the summer we've had, you still have live plants? I'm calling the city! *g*
No kidding! Hehe, I didn't water it at all either. I think it was on the verge of death when we got just a bit of rain at the beginning of fall. And then it went nuts making buds.
