It has been a pretty hectic visit to my mother's place in Western Australia with my family. It has been just a long overdue visit to see family friends and school friends... The last time was about 7 years ago!

Anyway, this time, one of my mother's much prized plants was coming into bloom! I think that I've missed it on previous occasions when I've visited, and it wasn't there when I was growing up.

It is a vine, and it needs to be supported by a tree of stone sort of support structure. They don't look like much in the daytime...

Anyway, these moonflowers will bloom just once before the buds fall off... But they bloom at night!

... And here they are, with this picture being taken by my daughter's camera as my phone camera is poop and she has a pretty decent one!

These flowers are pretty fragrant as well!

Moonflower gardens are quite popular, some seductively help with sleep, others known to be poisonous, who eats plants? Angel trumpets (Brugmansia) are found here.

Delicate beauty a Queen of the Night.

That reminds me of a certain type there, is at my mother's house there was one, although I do not remember that it was a vine, the flower was very similar, known by the name dama de noche, it bloomed only at night and left the house perfumed.
