Moonflowers are beautiful. It’s a shame some only bloom at night and each flower only lasts a short time.
Be careful as there are two types of moonflower plants. One type is Datura stramonium and the other is Ipomoea alba. The Datura is poisonous to humans and animals and blooms during the day. It also grows lower to the ground than the Ipomoea. The Ipomoea is more like a vine and grows best on a trestle.
