Things that flower when you're at work

Don't you just hate them? And the ones that wait until you've gone to bed aren't much better.

Thankfully, not everything closes up by late afternoon or even (as here) by 7:30pm with this group of Lobivia maximiliana forms.

What can you be sure of seeing in the evening?

I've been really lucky the past 4 to 5 years working shifts (6-2, 2-10). I am on days now (8-4) - shifts weren't doing me any good

.

Something tells me I'm not going to take as many flower pictures this year.

Mesemb flowers are good at hanging on until evening. Neoporteria, Mammillaria senilis, and a few others keep their flowers continuously.

These fit into that category too, so by just after 10pm there's no change:
