| 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. Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

| 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) ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ 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. ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |
