What plants bloom at night and only open in the evening
For the netizens who are concerned, this article explains in detail which plants bloom at night and only open in the evening, as well as the knowledge about the flowers and plants of five night-blooming green plants. Let's follow the editor to take a look!
Most flowers bloom during the day because there is sunlight during the day, which can absorb sunlight. Moreover, blooming during the day also makes them look more vibrant and can be fully appreciated and praised. However, there are several flowers that are both "powerful" and low-key. They only bloom at night. Today, let me introduce them to you.
1. Night-blooming Cestrum
The name of night-blooming Cestrum can tell that this is a flower that only blooms freely at night. Night-blooming Cestrum "shines" at night, not because it has high requirements for blooming, but actually it has a strong adaptability to growth, can endure drought and barrenness, and has a long blooming period.
Just as its name implies, night-blooming Cestrum becomes more fragrant at night. The scent is somewhat similar to that of clove flowers, so night-blooming Cestrum is also known as night clove. However, the strong fragrance of night-blooming Cestrum at night is not suitable for us to stay in front of its flower bed for a long time.
2. Evening Primrose
Evening primrose, as its name suggests, is a flower that blooms specifically for the moon to admire. Its flowers are small and beautiful, and they emit a faint fragrance when they open at night. However, its blooming period is relatively short, usually wilting after one night.
In order to see the evening primrose, you have to set aside a night especially for it. If you miss it, you won't be able to see it, after all, it is only for the moon to admire.
3. Cattleya
Cattleya, as a flower that only blooms at night, is quite famous and even has a special idiom "ephemeral bloom" to describe it. The blooming time of Cattleya is only 3-4 hours. If you want to admire it, you have to wait diligently in front of the flower pot, which is even harder to wait than evening primrose.
However, when Cattleya blooms, it will definitely not disappoint flower lovers. Its white flowers, set off by the moonlight, seem to be able to preserve its purity only in this quiet moonlit night.
4. Four O'Clock
Four O'Clock mainly blooms at night, which cannot be seen from its name. It seems that Four O'Clock is even more low-key than the above-mentioned flowers. However, Four O'Clock is not as strict as evening primrose and Cattleya, which must open at night.
