Flora in the library
The library is home to many varieties of thriving potted plants. One of the most impressive is our Cereus peruvianus (cactus), which bloomed recently. This cactus blooms but once per year, and only briefly, and the flowers only open at night!
Come into the library and have a look at our plants (and learn their Latin and English names while you're at it!).

Great photo. Thanks for the beautiful and educational library plants!
I think we need to give some of our plastic plants a rest over here at Manassas and do what y'all did. Since we have extended our hours till 9 at night we just might see some of these evening cacti bloom.
