    Very pretty. Does it bloom at night? Is that how it gets it name?

    Oh, I had a huge amount of Moon Flower Vine on the arbor a couple of years ago. It was such a good grower that it started vining up into the Hackberry tree that was just a tad too close. I love the smell of those beautiful blooms.

    Beautiful. I love that fragrance. Ours were right at nose level this year. They just succumbed to frost. :-|
