My neighbour Tea paid me a visit one evening and the sparkle in her eyes was a sign of big news!
- Have you ever seen night beauties?
- I'm looking at one!
- Mais non, les fleurs ! Les Belles de nuit ! They're in the process of blooming!
The Polynesian night beauty is a white flower with multiple tentacles, reminiscent of certain corals and algae in the lagoon. Elles n’éclosent que la nuit de loin en loin et toutes en même temps. They close at the first light of dawn.
