Collected by the birds owner and given to me as a gift- It is naturally gold colored- instead of teal blue. The bird only had 2 of these feathers show up in 5 years. (5 years and 2595 days ago)

This is a "Night Blooming Cereus." It is on a cactus vine (see SBS) and only blooms at night, and only on ONE night per year! The next day, they are all wilted and gone. The blossom is about 8 inches (20 cm) across. (5 years and 2768 days ago)

One night per year? A truly one-night-stand
