Flowers that bloom at night


Flowers that bloom from evening until the next morning, like flowers that are strongly fragrant at night, are represented by Trichosanthes cucumeroides in the fields, Mirabilis jalapa(Oshiroibana） and Angel's trumpets (datura trees, scientific name:Brugmansia) in gardens, Baobab (scientific name: Adansonia) flowers in botanical gardens open at night, and Barringtonia racemos in the Amami and Okinawa Islands.
Most of the evening flowers have in common the following characteristics: their color is white or yellow, easily visible in moonlight; they are fragrant; they have a trumpet-shaped corolla specialized for nectar sucking by flying moths; and most flowers bloom at night in summer. Few night-blooming flowers bloom in the spring, except for the Brunfelsia latifolia, Yesterday-Today-and-Tomorrow (April-July) andOrchid cactus (scientific name:Epiphyllum spp.) (May-June). The following is a list of typical night-blooming flowers. For more details, please refer to the "Special Night Blooming Flowers" in Kagiken Flower Database.
