Isn't this a neat looking flower? It's called a moon lily, or moon flower. It is closed up during the day and unfurls in the evening. This picture was taken a little after 9 at night so it's not all the way open.
I love Moon Flowers! I planted them early but they are just now winding their way up onto the stairway. Mine are the climbing ones. Are yours the bush kind? I have to plant my kind every summer. I think the other kind are perennial.
I am a Christian wife, mom to 5 and Grandma to two adorable little girls. I have 2 daughters and a son who were born to me and 2 sons who joined our family by marrying our daughters. I have been married to a wonderful Christian man for over 30 years. I work as a nurse at a long term care center, where I am blessed to get to know many older people and their families.

THis is a gorgeous flower, reminds me of a pinwheel. I think this would look great as a monochrome shot too.
Beautiful! I love the hint of purple, and the green center.
Mari, this is lovely and oh so graceful and fragile looking.
I'm in awe! That is so beautiful.
And to think this fabulous flower blooms only at night when most people are inside. Lusciously lovely.
Love moon flowers, those and morning glories!

My MIL has these in her garden and when we are all together in the evening, we enjoy sitting and watching how many open in one night.
