Flowers That Open at Night
... If a flower is native to an area where the creatures it lives among are largely nocturnal, that’s the time when it’s most likely to be pollinated. Animals like bats, insects and moths come out at night to move around the night garden, and as they do, they collect pollen from one flower and transport ...
