Flowers are usually identified with their colours. When someone grows flowers, it is with the intention to make their garden colourful. However, the novelty of a white flower is very special. And it is usually the night blooming flowers that are white. If you have night blooming flowers in your garden, then they are mostly white in colour. This is much more than a coincidence.

Having night blooming flowers makes your garden a moon garden. This is related to the mythical story of why the night blooming flowers are usually white in colours. It is believed that the moon loves the white flowers because she can see her own image in these flowers. The more appropriate scientific explanation for this phenomenon is that night blooming flowers have to reproduce at night. So they reflect the moonlight to attract insects for pollination as that is the only way for them to propagate.
