# 1716 Can't See the Flowers of the Trees?

Although Horav T. P, Frank zt”l (quoted in Yain Hatov 1: 48) rules that birchas hailonos should not be recited at night, many Poskim permit when needed and there is enough light to see clearly the budding in the fruit trees. (Tzitz Eliezer O.H. 1: 118 - 12: 20, Porach Mateh Aharon p. 163, Birchas Yosef 121: 3, Maadanei Daniel 226: 5, Rivavos Efraim (O.H. 6: 458, et. al.)

Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is similar.
