What is the lovely flower in the second image zigs and the dew shot is lovely.
This is my combo passionfruit vine and wonga wonga vine, the Ornamental grape has been pruned back ready to reburst next autumn. It is September and Spring in this neck of the woods. View attachment 15204

This is a Night-Blooming Jasmine (Cestrum nocturnum) in nearly full bloom. It allows the Nectar Cafe to stay open 24 hours a day, attracting moths (whoa...really big ones) and bats and who knows what else in all that darkness. The fragrance fills the house and the neighborhood. I can almost hear the neighbors saying "where is that smell coming from?" (only in Spanish of course). The flowers are small, light green, slender trumpets that are mostly closed now in the daytime. A full moon really lights up the garden so maybe i can get a good look at what is going on during the next full moon. I don't like to turn the lights on because it makes the visitors a bit frenetic

@zigs...say, i like your weeds (looking at the gourd photo). I have some of the same weeds with the same holes in them. What a great looking gourd too, and it looks big. Is it eatable? Can you save the shell, cut the top off, dry it and use it to put things in?

I can see Spurge, Shamrock and Speedwell there.

Turk's Turban Squash, it's Sis's part of the plot, she eats them, don't really like them myself. Probably could dry the shell
