night jasmine
Dusk-scented white flowers
Night jasmine is any of several plants whose fragrant white flowers open at night, releasing a sweet, intense scent to attract nocturnal pollinators.
The name most often refers to *Cestrum nocturnum*, native to the Caribbean and Central America, commonly grown as an ornamental in warm climates.
The fragrance can be overpowering: The night jasmine perfumed the whole garden after dark.
