The epiphany flower comes from a cactus, Epiphyllum oxypetalum (Dutchman's pipe cactus), which blossoms only at night, lasting for a few hours. As such, it is referred to as "the princess of the night or queen of the night." To take the macro picture inside, I place a flashlight behind it while using a 100 mm lens on a tripod in the front.
