    Beautiful, mine hasn't bloomed yet but then I was late getting the seeds started. Don't they smell wonderful?

    I was so thrilled to see it and get a photo... I forgot to stop and smell it! ;)
    Hopefully it'll bloom while I'm awake again.

    A lovely flower indeed. I had to do a search to find out what sort of plant it is, and stumbled upon a little film showing how the bloom opens. Amazing plant!

    Just beautiful. They look like they belong in a jungle lit by moonlight.

    Beautiful! I have never had the good fortune to see a Moon Flower before except in a picture.

    Well.... I was wide awake at 4:30 this morning. Couldn't get back to sleep. So... I hopped out of bed, grabbed the camera and went outside to see if I could catch the Moonflower open again since there were two "ready" blooms. But alas... they had already opened and were practically closed. :(
    I think I'd better get treated for this flower addiction of mine!
    :-D
