42. Night-Blooming Flowers

The No Sweat Nature Study Podcast

Night-blooming flowers open their petals at nighttime, usually just after sunset. They are also called nocturnal flowers. Some examples of night bloomers include jasmine, moonflowers, evening primrose, and angel’s trumpet. Night-blooming flowers can be found in different parts of the world, including tropical rainforests, deserts, and temperate forests.
