Name these flowers

A reader guessed this as a moon flower. That is not correct. Hint: This flower blooms this time of year and the plant puts out a delicious fruit.

This plant which grew from a seed dropped by a bird is about two feet tall. It started with a big pod then opened to this beautiful flower with five huge petals and bloomed for seven days.

If you know what this flower is, cut out the picture, write the name and your name on a sheet of paper, and send the answer to Flower, P.O. Box 5955, Columbia, S.C. 29250 or drop your answer by the office, 723 Queen Street or email mimim@sc.rr.com. The first winner will receive a bird house.
