tuberoses
Night-blooming white flowers
Tuberoses are flowering plants prized for their intensely fragrant white blooms, often used in perfumery and bridal bouquets.
The singular is tuberose.
Despite the name, the plant is unrelated to roses or tubers—it grows from a bulb.
The scent is heavy and sweet, strongest at night: The tuberoses perfumed the entire garden.
