Moonflower

I love the night blooming moonflower.  I planted it from seed so I was glad to
see the first blooms.  I finally learned how to get the seeds to come up.
I cut a small slit in the seed and soaked it overnight before planting it in a pot in my
small greenhouse in early spring, then moved it to the yard after danger of frost is over.
The blooms are very fragrant but I'm glad I didn't try to smell this one.
It was dark when I took this picture and I would not have seen the ants.
