Night bloomers

These flowers are called "night bloomers". During the day, they look like they've shriveled up, but at night, their large intense yellow petals open wide. I think they're wonderful.

  1. Did you see our moonflowers? They just volunteered out of nowhere last summer. They are huge and wonderful. Looks like they're back this year. This is what they look like:

    It's a good reason to get up early.

  2. Pretty! We have moonflowers in a pot too, though they haven't bloomed yet. They grew like a foot a day until they got to the top of the trellis. Now they don't know what to do.
