The first moon flower sprouts.  Moon flower vines produce  large white flowers that bloom at night after dusk in late August. I didn’t get any moon flowers last year — probably because I didn’t plant any. Over the years however I have observed that moon flowers can be picky about sprouting which is why it’s nice to see a sprout.

Out of focus in the forefront is a sunflower. These are sprouting all over now. This is the veranda north wall box.

Here‘s a pic of a moon flower in bloom taken in 2004.
