For most people, night-time is not a time to take pictures of flowers since so many of them close up shop. This is a good example, the grass lily (or Star-of-Bethlehem if you like names with religious significance). In the daylight, each of these flowers opens up spectacularly, but at night they close up for their nap. One of the names apparently for this is Nap-at-noon and I have no idea why since it appear wide awake in the day. It's natively a European and North African species but it has spread to North America. The distribution map at Wikipedia doesn't show Newfoundland, but there are plenty of examples of it here. Like this one, in my friend's garden in St John's.
