I wonder if it is a succession of lunar phases causing changes, which build up. My best guess.

I grew Gourds in my previous hobby. Related to pumpkins, they flower at night also, bearing white blossoms. They rely on insects such as moths for pollination, (I was mean though and wouldn't allow them to be fertilized by just anyone, I hand pollinated)
There are other cacti, day flowerers, who's bloom smells like rotting meat. They use flies for pollination.
