Description

For you Mike *S* B*B & HUGS
~ Mina ~

Moonflower, Ipomoea alba, is a vine related to the Morning Glory, blooming only in late afternoon and night, with the flowers lasting only one night :o( It produces the most heavenly scent !!! My favorite flower, for aroma, used to be Gardenia until I smelled the Moonflower....absolutely intoxicating !!! This flower came from my daughter's plant and mine is fixin' to bloom any time now....can't wait!!! :o) They're real easy to grow, we started these from seed. Hope everyone has a wonderful day ! ~ Hugs ~ * Mina *

Terrific photograph ... MUCH better than my entirely fictional moonflower! Thank you, Mina - I wonder if they are hardy enough for the UK? I must do a little trawl through the online local garden centres and find out. Thank you so much for this ... hugs'n'kisses galore Mike

I thought it entirely fictional when I heard the music. Thought perhaps Mike was a fan. How lovely to know they exist! Being a night person, I will have to find some! Thanks for sharing. Best of luck with yours. BJ
