Does anyone know the name of the white night-blooming flower or lilly ? ?

I am trying to find out the name of the white ones that bloom at night %26amp; the purple %26amp;white ones that bloom more from morning til night.They are pretty big %26amp; look like a lilly.

Does anyone know the name of the white night-blooming flower or lilly ? ?
I agree with the moon flower for the night time flower. Clematis is a flower that blooms during the day and does come in purple and white.
Reply:Brugmansia or common name is Angel Trumpets. These plants form huge lily like blooms and show best at night. You will still have the blooms by day day but by afternoon they are pretty well gone. These are not moonflowers and do not grow on a vine. They can become quite large and are gorgeous in the evening and really light up when it is totally dark.
Reply:There is a flower that grows indoors (outdoors if you get no frost) called a night blooming cereus or epiphyllum oxypetalum. It starts to bloom around 8 pm and is completely open around midnight and then closes around dawn. The flower can get between 8-12 inches across.


I will post a picture of mine in bloom. It was almost 9 inches across.
Reply:The moonflower blooms at night but it is a vine. The flower is large and white and fragrant. The similar looking flower that is blue and blooms during the day is a morning glory.
