| Well, night flowering plants are pollinated by moths and other night insects so I suppose you could say they are trying to act like bees  | |

Most are new ones that haven't flowered yet, so I should have some interesting photos over the next couple years. I didn't get to buy many this summer because they seem to have really become popular. Some of the prices on ebay have been literally staggering. The first cutting of the season from Clown (the red and white one) went for $170. Totally outragious, even the seller was shocked. | |
