The lady of the night doses her beauty by day

In La Vanguardia Readers' Photos we can see what the flower known as the Lady of the Night looks like during the day, a wild plant that we see growing in front of the Mediterranean Sea, in front of the Cargol de L'Escala rock, in Alt Empordà. .

This flowering bush has this name because, in the morning, as the sun heats up, it closes its petals and does not open them again until the afternoon. And so it continues to complete this circle. In this way, its flowering lasts for many days. Photographically it has a good chromatic effect.

In the background of the image we see the Cargol rock, located where there was once a port known as Cargol and Punta de la Roca.

It is one of the natural icons that the Mediterranean offers to L'Escala, whose name comes from Roman times, Scala, which means dock or place where ships dock.

L'Escala is one of the most popular destinations in summer, as it has a large number of coves and beaches, but at other times of the year it also invites you to enjoy its promenade and the coastal path.
