Wifey just pointed out a night-blooming Cereus in our yard.

Guess what I though of. :higgins:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

It's the cactus variety though.

Knocking my rubber chicken or my sloppy habits is within the rules, but you're attacking my character. I would like to think you don't mean that.

I looked this up years ago and learned that the writers were pretty accurate. Cereus are all cacti types originating in South America, and some of them indeed have flowers that bloom for just a single night. There is no Mandevillus variety though. :(

That’s a beautiful shot!

Thank you. However, I should have said. Not my pic. Just an example.

We have a similar night blooming Cereus Peruvianus (cactus). Currently indecent and naked.
I will now be watching closely though.

I love that this is actually a thing. That episode has some incredibly good Magnum/Higgins dialogue.

Not Cereus but a gif of mine worth a repost.

I searched “Jaguar” to find it.

Oh never mind. I haven't seen that episode. Still on season 4, stuck on "No More Mr. Nice Guy". :oops:

Dang, Ivan! You’re not through season four yet. :)

TQ’s almost through 12 seasons of HF-O. I kid, but still sometimes forget you haven’t seen them all.

It's crazy.

If ANYONE around here deserves the bamboo cage it's Ivan.

T.Q. will probably be done with THE ROCKFORD FILES and I'll still be stuck on MPI season 4. :lol:

But no really, I need to get on with it. Luckily the next one is the Carol Burnett one so it should be good. Not that "Mr. Nice Guy" was bad or anything. Just kinda average.

Indeed.

The 3 episodes a week schedule works well for me.

C'Mon Man.

Just do it already. You don't have 2 hrs 15 min a week to commit? :evil:
