Getting ready to launch.
I know the name of this one. It’s a moonflower, so called because it blooms overnight. But it’s also known, by me, as one of the ugliest flowers around. One of my neighbours planted a bunch of them in her front garden and was giving some away. She offered to give me one but I told her there was no way I wanted that in my garden. I mean, the flower itself isn’t too bad, but the plant is ugly and the flower shoots out of this long tube-like structure that I think looks disgusting. And seeing as the flower only blooms for a day or two tops the rest of the time it’s just an eyesore.
A brief moment of glory.

Sung like a true city boy who has never gotten sick from a mosquito, or had a tick bite him or had a rabid groundhog attack him.

I like the flower, don’t think it’s too awful a plant although the phallic tubes are a bit strange.

Something about that doesn’t blow your horn?

Yeah, but because the flower doesn’t last more than a day or so, the old tubes are basically all you get.

A little. I’m not crazy about the flowers even. Don’t understand why these things are so popular.
