A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER "WHATEVER" IT'S NAME!!

This flower is from my mother-in-law's yard, - she calls it 'moonflower' or 'trumpet flower".  It blooms at night and it closes during the day.  She has had this flower for years but just recently I really 'took notice' of it.  It is truly a beautiful flower, --"inside and out"!!


Bud, almost ready to bloom.  Notice the two little buds at right of larger bud.
The leaves are beautiful, - young leaves are light green and as the leaves grow larger they become dark green.  The leaves grows quite large too.


Buds and leaves in black and white.


Bloom fully open, 'kinda'  a lime green down inside flower - this shot was taken the morning after a much needed rain. (I never knew how the 'inside' of this flower looked until I took these pictures)!


Bloom fully open in black and white.  I love the little 'points' on the outter edge of the bloom.


Deep inside Moonflower.


Side of flower, - full bloom in black and white.  (This is my favorite picture)!

If any of my dear gather friends know the 'real' name of this flower please let me know!

All flowers are amazingly beautiful and unique in their own way.....the beauty is in the details!!!
