Do you think that moon flowers exist?

They do, and here I was going to add “but they’re a bit less fun”, but after reading the wiki article I’m not sure.

Due to their effects and symptoms, Datura species have occasionally been used not only as poisons, but also as hallucinogens by various groups throughout history. Traditionally, their psychoactive administration has often been associated with witchcraft and sorcery or similar practices in many cultures, including the Western world. Certain common Datura species have also been used ritualistically as entheogens by some Native American groups.

Honestly even ignoring the "possible hallucinogen" thing they're just as fun as sunflowers, the variety I'm familiar with are saucer sized white flowers that bloom at fight and kinda glow. They're one of my favorite flowers.
