| 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 Universe speaks in many languages, but only one voice. It speaks in the language of hope; It speaks in the language of trust; It speaks in the language of strength, and the language of compassion. It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul. But always, it is the same voice. It is the voice of our ancestors, speaking through us, And the voice of our inheritors, waiting to be born. It is the small, still voice that says: We are one. No matter the blood; No matter the skin; No matter the world; No matter the star; We are one. No matter the pain; No matter the darkness; No matter the loss; No matter the fear; We are one. Here, gathered together in common cause. we agree to recognize this singular truth, and this singular rule: That we must be kind to one another, because each voice enriches us and ennobles us, and each voice lost diminishes us. We are the voice of the Universe, the soul of creation, the fire that will light the way to a better future. We are one." G'Kar |

| 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! ~ |
