I captured shot of this beautiful flower at one of my friend's house. His father planted the plant about 7 years back and suddenly one day his wife saw an unusual thing hanging on the leaf of the plant and by evening the bud started opening and by mid-night the flower bloomed completely. Next morning when I went to see the flower, I found a bud hanging.
