Famous in the myths as the flower of the Gods this stunning night bloomer is a perfect subject for night time photography. If you are into time lapse photography, this could be just the ideal subject you have been on the look out for. Not only does it bloom and close within a few hours, it has a stunning blossom, large enough to capture any frame in turn. The fragrance is another bonus. Only be careful of snakes, as it is said that it lures the night crawlers to it by its enchanting fragrance.
King of the Himalayan flowers this exotic species is found only in the Himalayan ranges of India, China, and Burma. If you catch it on the one night it blooms between late July and early September, you can safely call yourself the luckiest one on the planet that night.
In my last post I have shown the entire series of photographs I took during its bloom last night. Below I have included some variants, as seen with different effects.
