| What kind of flower only opens at night? I bought this flower for my niece several years ago. It's planted in her front yard and has grown into a shrub. We live in n.w. ky. |

| Hi Patricia .. there are lots of flowers that open at night .. a picture would be very helpful or a more detailed description such as color, how many petals on the flower etc. "The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it."

| Hi Patricia, Is it possible to upload a photo of the plant in question? What color are the flowers? A couple I can think of whose blooms open late afternoon, early evening but I don't think they are considered shrubs: Common Evening Primrose (Oenothera biennis) Four o'Clocks (Mirabilis jalapa) ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! ~ |

| I have a ton of plants that flower at night... I've posted a number of pics of the moths that pollinate night blooming flowers... Couldn't really think of night blooming shrubbery, though... so I tried google. https://www.google.com/search?... |

| Night Blooming Jasmine (Cestrum nocturnum) is a nocturnal bloomer with an amazing fragrance but it's listed for zones 8b and above. Owensboro, Ky. is zone 6b. I think some varieties of Datura are night bloomers: https://garden.org/plants/sear... but I believe they are also listed as zones 8 and higher. Photos will surely help in figuring out the identity. ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! ~ |
