Some plants bloom at night because they have evolved to attract nocturnal pollinators such as moths and bats. These pollinators are more active during the night, so the plants have adapted to release their fragrance and nectar when they are most likely to be visited by these creatures. Additionally, blooming at night can help reduce competition for pollinators from other daytime-flowering plants.
