Flower, Night Bloom
Posted by Justin Haaheim (New Haven, CT, United States) on 25 March 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
A plant at my friends house that remains flowerless for all but one night of the year. During that one night, supposedly, a single flower blooms and remains open until the morning, when it closes and dies. My friend and I only caught this one night when it blooms because he noticed the perfume the flower lets off just before he headed to bed.

I have one of these plants in my convervatory, i've been trying to find out what it's name is and where it comes from for a long while. My plant has been flowering every month throughout the summer with several flowers each time. the flowers take about a month to grow and usually open around the date of our full moon.
Now the weather has turned cold it has stop producing flowers.

I have one of these plants. And I wait and wait for this gorgeous flower to open. Can anyone tell me its name and what are the best conditions for this plant to prolificate . I am simply mad about this fragrant flower.

Datura innoxia. Blooms range from 2 inches to 7 inches wide depending on the exact species you have. HIGHLY TOXIC. Can kill a child and used to be used in South Pacific to make husbands sick when wife's didn't want sex. NO lie absolutely true. Stronger if you wanted them totally dead.
