Description from BevB: There is a night blooming garden in my city. It is gated, so you would not see it walking by, that is open to the public. We visited it after one of our office Christmas parties. It was a crisp clear December night. The beautiful white flowers were in bloom. This depiction doesn't do it justice...but I tried!

Phoenix says:What an elegant white pick! And it sounds like a beautiful garden. I grew Moonflowers one year and they were quite something to see at night especially when the moon was full. I agree, good possibilities for wedding jewelry.

Beady Little Eyes says:Beautiful white flower picks. Yes the scent of gardenias… (can’t grow them where I live now – too cold)
The garden sounds beautiful.

dolllady aka Pam says:Oh gorgeous pick! It reminds me of my parent’s night blooming cereus cactus. It had huge white flowers that only bloom at night. They opened about 10 pm and closed just after sunrise. It had many arms that were up to 8 feet tall and usually had dozens of blooms on several arms each night.
