The Night-Blooming Garden

摘要

I HAD my first encounter with a night-blooming garden in my early 20's, visiting with a friend in her yard. Just as evening descended, the air suddenly filled with the most intoxicating scent. I was soon introduced to Nicotiana, an immensely fragrantplant with white flowers that open only at night. From that moment, I was hooked on the idea of creating my own nocturnal plot, filled with plants that shine in the dark hours.
