they are fun to watch bloom. They flower only at night. Then will die off.

Alessandro. About 2 years ago I had a plant that grew to about 4" - 10cm. It bloomed over a 3 day period and died off. I currently have 6 plants in the greenhouse. 1" to 4" in height. All are pushing up flower buds. The larger has already bloomed 4 times over the last 14 days. They are supposed to bloom just after dusk. These have not. Sometime through the night they have opened up. A 3" bloomed 7 days ago and has started to grow a seed sack. I'll post some pictures for you.
I learned about the "don't turn a light on" thing the first night when I turned on the porch light. I went back in to grab the camera (1 minute) and the flower already had started to close up.

Wow! :o That is amazing! I thought that they bloom a few time per year. What about watering? Is such blooming require constantly watering?

Thank you for the note!
