Night-blooming flowers are plants that open their blossoms during the night, often releasing their fragrance to attract nocturnal pollinators like moths and bats. These flowers have adapted to bloom in the dark to take advantage of cooler temperatures and reduced competition from daytime pollinators. Common examples include moonflowers, evening primrose, and night-blooming jasmine. These flowers typically have lighter colors or white petals, which reflect moonlight and make them more visible in the dark. Their unique blooming habits contribute to the ecosystem by providing food sources for nighttime creatures and adding beauty to gardens after sunset.
