The queen of the night

That's the common name of this flower. But it does not answer when called by the name.
It grows in clumps and has a strong fragrance at dawn. There is a moth that visits it, with a long trunk, and it flies backwards as hummingbirds do.

@wakelys It is not jasmine proper, but apparently in English it is also known as jasmine tobacco. Go figure...

This is a sturdy plant. It grows in the most unexpected places, like between the tiles of the garden path, in the most trodden parts too. It seems it is a sort of tobacco... nicotiana alata by its official name. Maybe if I call it by that name, it will eventually answer... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotiana_alata
