Thank you for the compliment "Asianthree" Its a hobby I discovered when we moved here now that I have the time and inclination to indulge in it. Such beauty all around, and I always carry my camera. This being The Villages, I applied one of name/address stickers to the camera, should I accidently leave it behind somewhere. I just know it would be returned.

Is it a single flower on a stalk or is there a vine? If vine, could be a type of jasmine. From the pic it appears to be a single stalk. Very pretty!

The flower possibly is a Night Blooming Cereus. I used to have one and it looks just like the blooms I would get.
