I thought we didn't have this flower anymore

Mom asked me for some flash light to check on a blooming flower. It was weird for me because she could just check it out in the morning. Until She told me that it was a Cinderella, the flower that only blooms at night. It was unbelievable because I thought we got rid of this flower when they renovated the front and turned into commercial space. Looking forward for this flower blooming more in the future. I took more than dozen pictures of it.

@thelme55 Mom just calls it cinderella, she kinda disagree about it being called dama de noche because she claims this flower was too big for that.

Turns out they brought a plant a few days ago @much2say I'm not surprised that I didn't recognize it earlier.

Is that the flower that have a very strong scent as well? Although it does not have a bad smell at all, but because it has a very strong scent it has can sometimes not good to smell all the time.

@Letranknight2015 Well it might be a different flower. Since the one l am describing has a scent that only emits at night. lt is not that bad but is overpowering too.

Cinderella flower, a flower that only blooms at night. I just found out that and it looks so beautiful I will search for it so I can plant it too
