Post by: Sailor Yue-chan on September 29 2007, 08:01 am

im reading Vampire Doll, and one character names a flower, but tokyopop translated the name of it into literal english, so im wondering if someone can help me:

what is the name of a flower that only blooms at night, or in the moonlight?
what is "little white flower" in japanese?

i need this for a fic i want to write.

Perhaps the Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire_Doll) on the manga can be of help? I'm not familiar with the characters so I can't tell if the original name you're looking for is mentioned there or not. It's not a very good article by Wikipedia standards, but still.

 I know that the Petunias bloom at night and they could be white... and there is a flower with the common name of Moonflower with the same night-blooming ... I read they're from a Ipomoea something specie.

 What is the chapter and the page where the character is mention it?
