What's up with mine? They don't bloom untill about 10PM. I have been spoiled by the moonflower and morning glory, being fairly predictable and then this...Everyone said they could set their watch by these, but if I did I would be reeeeally late for everything.It's too dark to snap their pics at 10 here in TX..:-)....What am I doing wrong here y'all?, please help.

*This photo is 2 merged together, one taken at 4 o'clock (buds closed). The other the next day after the 10 o'clock blooming *
