Night blooming plants and the blooms they produce are quite varied, ranging from shrubs to water lilies, vines to cactus. The flower is often, but not always, large, white or pale in color and very fragrant. True night bloomers only bloom at night but there are other types of flowers that will bloom during the day then release their scent at night to attract night time pollinators like moths and bats.
One type of moon flower produces a fruit called dragon fruit, also called fire dragon fruit, and strawberry pear - most likely named for its shape and bright red skin.
Night blooming flowers are grown in more tropical regions but in cold climates night bloomers can be found in a green house or conservatory.
