Oh, I had a huge amount of Moon Flower Vine on the arbor a couple of years ago. It was such a good grower that it started vining up into the Hackberry tree that was just a tad too close. I love the smell of those beautiful blooms.

I remember Sharon posting a topic on Moon Flowers before as well. So beautiful and intriguing.

Beautiful. I love that fragrance. Ours were right at nose level this year. They just succumbed to frost.
