Lila Loy captures Christ in a Manger one night in bloom This year has been a record one for the plant, which pre-dates 1988, when the Pearl Gadberry gave the plant to Lila Loy, who has nurtured it, now with the help of her son, ever since. Click on headline for complete article with photo sequence of one evening's flowering Lila Loy has a wonderful plant she was given by the late Pearl Gadberry, received before Mrs. Gadberry's death in 1988. It's called Christ in a Manger/ It blooms only at night, with the each bloom opening only one night of the year then it withers and dies. "My son Bobby Loy keeps it for me now," she writes. "There were 5 more flowers that bloomed last night. This is the first time that "Pearl" has had more than 3 or 4 blooms all year. She adds, "There were 8 blooms ready on Saturday and several more babies starting. It must just be the year with the warm and cool nights." This year Ms. Loy took a sequence of photos of the event. The sequence can be seen by clicking on the headline and scrolling down. - CM This story was posted on 2014-08-04 02:49:55
