I recon you have a couple of days to go yet. When mine are at this stage the first thing I do when I get home from work is head straight out to check if they are open. They are such a beautiful flower it’s a pity they only last one night.

Are there heaps of other buds forming or are the areoles raised.

Cheers

You were right GoT, no luck with a flower, so hopefully tonight or tomorrow (fingers crossed)

And no signs of any other flowers either :(
