Your title caught my attention. I had never heard of a moon flower until several months ago when I moved. There is a vine outside that was started this spring, which now is producing many flowers. Six in one night earlier this week. I have been fascinated with them. They have to be quite rare. For me it is the delicate colors on those delicate petals that make them so remarkable.

This was at Idianola, Texas on LaVaca Bay. I only noticed the one flower, and it reminded me of a sand dollar.

They only begin to open towards dusk, and by the morning light they are folding in on themselves, soon to fall off.

Actually I got this one around 4 on the afternoon between Indianola Beach and the salt flats. It was the only one.

I have done a little research. There are of course more than one variety but from the photo you posted it looks like the ones I see here. The blossoms are rather large compared to other flowers. Was yours in the shade? These here just don't see much daylight.

Actually it was in direct sunlight. I had to really manipulate the background to get the end result. Please don't ask me how as I was just moving sliders around.
