And, now at noon today the stem has totally dropped.

It was great fun watching this take place. I've had this plant for a long time and this is the first time I've ever seen it bloom!

My husband thought it was pretty cool too but said it's a shame the bloom is so short lived and only at night. I'm sure everyone feels that way about that gorgeous flower! He also said it had amazing fragrance but with my sinuses I could barely detect anything! Hopefully the next blooms I will be able to smell it!
