moonflowers
Nocturnal white blooms
Moonflowers are night-blooming plants, especially varieties of morning glory with large white fragrant flowers that open in the evening and close by morning.
The name reflects their nocturnal habit—they bloom under moonlight rather than sun: The moonflowers opened as dusk fell.
The term sometimes applies to other night-blooming species like datura.
