very beatiful.we had two of these plants ,one died.the other turn into a three foot tree that amazed us and friends for about a month i didn't know much about the plant so i don't know if it will return or if it is gone.i didn't save any seeds and i think it was unique because it was upright (without support)and it was opague yellow. these plants were given to us as a thank you gift from some one we will never see again.there is another member who lives in conneaut ohio who grows moon vines but i lost her e-mail address .you can write me at wildbil1948 @yahoo.com if you have anything to say.i loved my tree.

Glad you liked my time-lapse photo.

I haven't grown another moonflower vine since then.

You are lucky to have had a special one to grow into a three feet tree.

Happy Gardening.

Hi Starzz,

Beautiful photos. I've been looking for a camera with time-lapse ability, to take pictures of my moonflowers - may I ask which camera & software you use?

Thanks,

Hi Shannon,
I just took pictures at different times through the evening..and the last one in the morning..then I linked them together in the Microsoft Picture It! program.

I have my first Queen of the night (Night blooming Cereus) bud coming and I plan to do the same thing with it when it opens.

It just blooms in the evening and is gone by morning.



Cheers,
Carol
