As a portrait artist, I was pretty sure I knew a lot about beauty… I found out this summer that there is a lot more to learn! Guess what? There is a gorgeous flower on our planet that blooms only ONCE a YEAR, for a few hours, and at night.
If you would see this cactus plant at any other time during the year, you would see a “plain Jane” looking hanging plant. And yet, deep within is this AMAZING beauty. The plant seems to be very shy, as it only shows this beauty AT NIGHT, and only for a few hours.

I wonder how many of us hide our beauty, consciously or subconsciously?
