Ephemeral plants grow, flower and die in a few days.
Desert flowers adapted in this way because of a shortage of rain, and plants in northern Canada have learned to bloom quickly because of the short length of summer there, even though the sun shines nearly 24 hours for a few days.

Its trumpet-shaped delicate blooms are best viewed in the morning before the bright sun fades their color. The plant twines its way up trees, poles, washing lines and the sides of houses.
