Nocturnal Flowers


After nearly two years of simply being leafy and green, this plant in the patio garden suddenly sprouted heaps of unattractive flowers or so I thought. On closer inspection they turned out to be buds but it seemed they wouldn't flower.






Then they revealed themselves to be delicate little nocturnal beauties, opening around sunset and closing again before nine o'clock in the morning.






Simply ages after planting loofah seeds and watching this small straggly vine grow slowly but surely up the wall and entangle itself with the existing creepers, it has finally flowered! 






Another cool moth hanging out at the bar.






I was quite sad to find this butterfly deceased on the driveway, especially since it's the first I've seen of this kind. :(
