Evening Flower

What evening flower blooms at day?
While the others lift their skirts and show they want to play.
Being looked upon, for your petals are a shapely bud,
round soft curves that make a bee stray and buzz.
Your nectar is sweet, but still not stirred with touch,
that's why the other roses bloom, to cover your musk.
But do stay hesitant and part in your own time,
even though your viewed as a night flower,
you could spread when the sun shines.
