Plant: The queen of night #1 (permalink) Mon Jun 05, 2006 21:49 pm   Plant: The queen of night		  
Hi

Here in Pakistan, we have a plant whose exquisite fragrance spreads far and wide but only at night. As the morning approaches the sweet smell of the flower withers away. It is generally called the queen of night, but I am aware that it is only a coinage because no such terms exists anywhere. Does anyone of you know of such a plant and its real name?

I would be thankful.
