My backyard moonflowers have been blooming for over a month with ten or twelve flowers opening every evening. It’s been an exceptional gift from one seed!
This flower was a rarity in the group, opening all the way around, with no drooping of the petals. At least in this moment.

The Moonflower blossoms are quite sturdy while they are open and the petals hold up even after a rain.
As they go by the petals curl inward in a variety of patterns.
This one is my recent favorite.
Many of the blooms have smudges on the inside — dirt or who knows what — as they open. We do sometimes see small flies or gnats inside the flowers. And the white shows everything.

The moonflower was closing and the morning glory had opened, about 1/2 hour before sunrise.

Moonflowers are a nighttime blooming member of the Morning Glory family. The blooms last just a few hours. These were taken around sunrise as they were closing.
