Mysterious Moon Flowers
from: Lawn and Garden MagicDon't ever think only humans experience a goodnight slumber because even those who are sprouting in the garden willm since it's quite the perfect time to catch tiny creatures, such as fairies, who begin their toil of polishing the stems and cleaning the leaves of the flora they're assigned to.
However, the moon flower is unique since it's in the evening that it shows off its beauty to the whole world. Moon flowers are magnificent annual vines that never fails to capture the attention of everyone who comes near. It climbs to a height of 6 - 9 feet, with blossoms that are as white as fresh snow.
It's focal point appears like star beams that sparkle upon its silk, moon flower have deep green heart-shaped foliage equally attractive. Since they flourish after the sunset, they're not pollinated by insects such as bees and butterflies. It's only moths that fertilize them, another unique aspect to them. If you'd like to have a front yard that's a complete head turner, then select one these exotic flowers as you'll soon discoer they'll be the topic of conversation among your neighbors when you invite them over for a dinner perhaps.
Moon flowers don't do well in cold climates, but thrive only in warm areas. For humid areas, it will take off like wild fire where the spectacular bundle sprouts out of control. If you lodge its nest to a trellis, it need not be short, it will certainly be lengthy. Consider turning an ordinary chainlink fence into a sweet aromatic private wall all throughout the night.
Those with limited space can accommodate Moon Flowers in a barrel or tub with wires inside for support. Remember, they have very soft branches so it doesn't stand tall whe compared to an iris for example.
Moon flowers are classified as an annual type which is then tolerant of any kind of soil. However, if the soil is exceptionally hard and lacks a lot of nutrients, mix it with organic matters first before burying the seeds. With it'ss thick outer shell, germination is quite slow, especially if they aren't given a lot of attention. Before lodging outdoors, notch each kernel with utmost care, enough to permit moisture to adequately seep through the inner core.
