Tuberose Flower (Polianthes tuberosa) a.k.a the Queen of the Night or Scent of the Night. The flower is a night-blooming plant. Right! It’s only blooming at night (I found that it’s always blooming nearly at midnight), the fragrance is almost similiar to jasmine flower but stronger.

I often wait at the garden until midnight just to smell its fragrance! The mixed of the fragrance and the midnight air is somehow romantic and mysterious

   Yeah, I saw this one before, the smell is amazing. There are few range of flowers that only blooms in the night. Good one Alexa

   I wonder if this is the same as the Dama De Noche. Blooms at night, gives off a heady (mostly nice) scent too.

   Ooh! I wonder if there is anything that blooms at night like this where I live. I’ve never seen a flower like it before.
