My moonflower vine finally started blooming today. They have the most wonderful fragance. So far I only have 3 blooms. I think the bloom is much prettier than the moonflower bush bloom. Just my opinion. Maybe because they are harder to grow for me.

Maggie,
That makes me think of my mom! She always raved about moon flowers but sadly never had one. She would have loved your pictures too!
 
I grew them once! They put on a very impressive amount of foliage and finally bloomed in late Septembe! I sat and watched one bloom unfurlas the sun set, and it took 20 mimutes! Too bad they only last 12 hours!
 
My Sweet Autumn Clematis this year. It covers a 4ft deck rail on front side & hangs over the back..we had to reinforce it w/ "T" made out of lumber to hold it up. Smells as pretty as it looks :p
