I had admire these flowers and plants for several years once I had learned about them. I was fortunate to come a cross a large patch of 100’s of plants and dozens of flowers and weather condition that afforded me a liberal allowance of time to compose this image in two film formats in both color and black and white media.
I really enjoy this one. They are called Moonflowers, if you didn't know. Sometimes also, Sacred Datura since the seeds of the plant are a serious hallucinogen. They come out at night and usually wilt off when the sun gets hot.
Nathan, thank you for your comment and info, yes I know this plant well … one season I found myself almost constantly photographing these I begin to wonder if it was just images I was after?
Paul, congrats on having your image chosen as photo of the day. It is a fine quality Black & White image with a beautiful range of tones and contrast. Well deserved.
