Summary

This quote highlights the unique behavior of certain plants, specifically jasmine buds, which only release their fragrance during the evening hours when the sun sets. During the day, these buds remain closed and withhold their delightful scent, keeping it hidden. However, as darkness falls, they open up and release their fragrance, sharing their sweet secret with the gentle nighttime breezes. The quote suggests that the beauty and essence of some plants can often be found in their subtlety and the moments when they reveal themselves.
