Our 'queen of the night' flower is bloomed!

I bought this 'queen of the night' flower in local nursery store around 3 or 4 months ago. I really never expect that it will bloom this fast, for this kind of flower blooms very rarely and it only blooms at night. The flower wilts before dawn. That's why you have to excuse me for the quality of the pics - it's taken at night with my handphone camera.

Queen of the night flower is also known as Dutchmen's pipe (Epiphyllum Oxypetalum). It's a species of cactus. In Indonesia we call it Wijaya kusuma. This flower become a symbol of a city in Central Java, Cilacap, where my husband originally came from.
