Ugly in the light vs Darky beautiful

The Rose of Jericho is a grim plant,
The Spider Orchid leafs are a tumbled mess , 
Looking at this plant where's the charm I  confess ,
The Rose of Jericho’s leafs are dried , gross and not  scant. 
 The rat tail cactus is foul to behold,
It’s tail like tentacles  look like  spiky strips,
And string the leafs together use them for whips,
The cactus flowers are lovely I am told.
What flowers are awesome during the night?
The Evening primrose has a strong scent too,
The Moon flower is lovely to behold.
These flowers shine bright ;they do not need light, 
This plant  has fatty acids ,good for you ,
This  flower blooms are spiral  I am told.
