night-blooming plants
Night-blooming plants are species that open their flowers during the night, often to attract nocturnal pollinators like moths and bats. These plants have adapted to cooler nighttime temperatures and lower light levels, which can help conserve water and energy. Common examples include moonflowers and night-blooming jasmine.
These plants often emit strong fragrances at night to lure in pollinators. Their blooms can be large and showy, making them visually striking in the dark. Night-blooming plants play a crucial role in their ecosystems by providing food and habitat for various nighttime creatures.
