Moonflowers are saucer-sized blooms that open toward late afternoon to early evening and close the following morning. This vine climbs walls and trees. Toward late August, early September, they can be seen blooming in the highest boughs of neighboring trees, exuding a wonderful, midnight perfume. A single bloom lasts only one short night, but a moonflower vine will spawn many delicate and fragrant flowers during the growing season. Tonight, the humidity in Edmond, Oklahoma is like a damp sheet, a storm approaching from the west saturating the air with heavy moisture -- a perfect evening for moonflowers, as I counted 25 blooms in the backyard. http://www.ericwilder.com http://ericwilder.blogspot.com http://justeastofeden.blogspot.com http://energyissues.modblog.com
