We have these amazing flowers blooming in the evening on the side of our home. They are called Moon flowers. A friend of mine said they are also called Belladonna. A fact I was unaware of when they were being planted. How can something so beautiful be so dangerous. We have taken picture after picture trying to preserve their outstanding beauty. They only bloom at night. Each popping open before your eyes and slowly spreading to about 8" to 10" across when fully opened. They are a brilliant white. The fragrance is soft and soothing. Another impossible fact of something so dangerous.
