Moonflowers

Any of you grow these, I do and sell the seeds. They open at night when the moon comes out, very water intensive but well worth it. Great in full sun.

Those are really cool.

I have about 25 plants all around the backyard, if it rains a couple inches I can have up to 200 buds out there at one time and when they flower it is fantastic

Datura. I like em a lot. I've seen yellow varieties. The seed pod is cool too. Plants that open at night usually are pollinated by bats and other nocturnal animals, like the suguaro cactus. Found mostly in the sonoran desert.

The bees polinnate and yes the seed pods are cool. I have yellow ones in seedlings, red ones in seedlings and orange so no buds yet. I do have purple adults I going to put that photo up in a second they are tough to grow fyi

They are very cool, they open at night time as the sun sets and the moon begins to glow. Great addition to any garden. They love water, the more water the more blooms.
