This Day in History: 1934-08-18
An unusual flower party was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. W. F. Heidgerd of Maysenger Road. The guests assembled to view the blooming of the hosts’ night blooming cereus. As the petals began to spread they first saw the orange and yellow petals surrounding the bud, then the white petals parted revealing the feathery pistol and stamen at the heart of the flower. The guests’ attention was not so completely held that they were not able to take advantage of the delicious refreshments which followed the floral performance. (Bristow)
