This flower is a morning glory. Please let me know if I'm correct in my thinking. I was hoping there was something in the verse but no clue; they are brilliant in the morning sun, too.

Thanks for your review. According to my research the morning glory and moonflower are closely related, however the moonflower comes only with white petals and only blooms during moonlit hours.

This one made me smile. "Petals of the Night" is a particularly beautiful phrase, and "daytime nap" feels sweetly whimsical when applied to a flower. Well done.

Lovely subject to pick and I like the idea of the nocturnal blooming as presented. The reason for the four is because I think "petals" being plural, doesn't work with "awakens" and "needs".

I thought this was terrific. Your haiku captures the essence of this nocturnal flower. I love how you suggest that it prefers night over the day. Love your word choices including "petals of the night". For m e that makes me think of "up to no good which I think works so well here.

Thanks for your review. You have given me an idea for a story with your "up to no good" thought. Stay tuned!

An excellent entry for the 5-7-5 A Flower Writing Prompt. I had actually never heard of a Moonflower. I learned something new in only seventeen syllables. Nicely done. Good luck in the contest.
