I love these flowers! The socks aren't bad but next to the flowers they pale. Ah well, can't beat Mother Nature. I just found out that the flower is a type of cactus: Epiphyllum. I've been growing it for years from a clipping. The flowers only bloom once a year and each flower only lives a couple of days.
The socks are Child's First Sock from Knitting Vintage Socks by Nancy Bush.

I grow that flower in this pink and a very light yellow--They have a beautiful scent as well. Check it out on my blog--Edna
Great socks - and what a special flower. We have to get together soon - I miss knitting at Edna's!
I don't know I'm pretty impressed by the socks...they will last longer! Still hoping to see the completed stripey shorts too?!

I've seen these socks on another blog and I loved them then. Great colors!
The socks are so pretty, and against the flowers, the combination of colors from the two are so lovely!
Those are gorgeous! And can I just say, on a completely unrelated note, I can't wait for your book!
Edna: oh yeah, I love the picture of your flower with the bright pink yarn.
Julia: come on over to Edna's for a visit!
Gudrun: Thanks, I do like the socks a lot. And, I will try to get a picture of the long shorts soon. They are silly!
Sonya: Knitting Vintage Socks is a great book, full of fantastic sock patterns. You can't go wrong with Nancy Bush.
Debbie: Pink and orange is a fave color combination.
Cathi: Thank you!
I bought this last year at the farmers market and our house tenting/move killed it. :( I need to get another.
What a wonderful way to capture the beauty of such an elusive flower. So pretty, Kat!
