Cestrum nocturnum, commonly known as night-blooming jasmine, is a flowering plant native to the tropical regions of the Americas. It belongs to the nightshade family and is known for its fragrant, tubular flowers that open at night, attracting nocturnal pollinators like moths. The plant can grow as a shrub or small tree, reaching heights of up to 10 feet. The flowers of Cestrum nocturnum are typically greenish-white or yellow and emit a strong, sweet scent, especially in the evening. While it is often grown for ornamental purposes, all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested, making it important to handle with care, especially around pets and children.
