I love flowers! Roses are my favorite flowers. In fact, I paint flowers and birds using acrylic paints. There is one colorful flower that fascinates me - LOTUS' FLOWER. Why does this flowering plant fascinate me? It is because its colorful flower opens in the morning and closes at night. I wonder if there is a flower that opens at night and closes in the morning! Is there? If there is, I would love to own one. Note: Image of lotus flower from Pixabay

Yes, there is a flower that opens when it gets dark and it closes as soon as the sun rises, it's called Mirabilis Jalapa, I have it in my garden.

@antonbunot i don't like it actually, i prefer black tea with menth, it's the typical moroccan tea, i like camoumilla, and verveine too, you should try them.

@jobelbojel no idea. It’s roots and leaves are toxic.

@antonbunot Oh cool, sometimes social media have helpful information right? That is why I don't totally dismiss social media. There's still good information to read yet.
