I agree They tend to open up late at night (10 pm and on) and close up before morning. I call them midnight bloomers and it's always an event to stay up late enough to see the blooms fully open and breathe in that fragrance! Smiling

I saw several more buds on another of my EO. I have several large ones in floor pots with tomato cages attached to the (nursery) pots. They have wandered up the cage and are now past the top of the cage. I have to cut them back when they get too tall or drape them over the top of the cage and down again. If I was in zone 10, I'd grow one up a tree in my yard. But it gets too cold here in the Winter and I have to cover them. On the coldest nights, I have to bring them into my garage because they are only good down to about 45 degrees. But they can sure get really tall!
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
