One day, on my walk home from work I saw a large growth, like an artichoke, on a tall, skinny cactus.  I was intrigued.  I had never seen anything like it.  Was it a fruit?  A flower?
Over the next few days it grew longer and my curiosity grew with it.
It was late at night when I saw the flower had eventually opened, luminous under the streetlights.  I woke up early to photograph it, before anyone could pick it.
