This was our first multiple flowering of our Moonflower plant and the three buds have now opened. Flower A, began to unfurl on Thursday 1 February at approx 1.45pm in the afternoon, Flower B began to open at approx. 12.45pm on Sunday 4 February and Flower C at 2.45pm on Friday 9 February.
In the wild the Strophocactus wittii (Amazon Moonflower) opens at sunset and is over by sunrise, but our flowerings have taken place in the afternoon this year.

Please note, due to essential works to the Glasshouse Range structure, scaffolding is being erected over the Continents Apart House from 7/2/24 and we will have to close other areas as necessary. Thank you for your understanding.
