'Aish al-Layl wa-'Aish an-Nahar (عش الليل وعش النهار) - This name, meaning "Live by Night, Live by Day," refers to its flowers changing color and fragrance from evening to morning.
Quisqualis indica, commonly known as the Rangoon Creeper, is a vigorous, woody, and climbing vine celebrated for its profuse and highly fragrant flowers. It is an excellent choice for gardens in the Middle East due to its high heat and drought tolerance once established. The flowers are a striking feature, starting as white, becoming pink, and finally a deep red or crimson, all appearing on the same cluster. The intense, sweet fragrance is particularly noticeable in the evening, making it a perfect plant for arbors, pergolas, and walls near seating areas. Its rapid growth provides quick shade and a spectacular display of color and scent throughout the warmer months.
