Moon Flowers






Back in the Spring, I planted around five" moon flower" seeds.  Two plants came up.  That is more than enough to cover the trellis though.  It takes almost all summer for them to grow and then bloom.  Every evening the buds begin to open and by night fall they bloom with all their glory.  You can still catch them open, early in the morning but once it gets hot, they close up and the same bud will not bloom again.   What is fun, plant some" morning glories" next to your "moon flowers" and then you have flowers opening when the others are closing.  It's not summer without " Moon Flowers".
