Night Scented Stock

["Karen L. Newcombe" <kln@crl.com>]

I too think that night-scented stock is a flower.  There are a number of 
flowers that only give scent at night because they are pollinated by 
various species of night-flying creatures such as moths and bats.

If you  ever see a bat hovering to stick it's whole head into a cactus 
flower after nectar you will be left with a vivid memory.  Then they have 
this nice little collar of pollen afterwards, like ladies with lace 
collars in old paintings.
