It must be 4 o'clock somewhere!

4 o'clocks, what an unsual plant. The flowers only open after 4pm or on cloudy days.  I have never seen this plant in a nursery so when I saw the seed packet I decided to give it a try. I started too many seeds of course taking into account my usual ratio of survivors. But these plants were easy to start from seed! I am pleasantly surprised. And it isn't just the flowers, they have nice foliage too. 

Pink 4 o'clocks, they came from the same packet of seeds as the orange and hot pink.

It must be only 3:55 and they are just waking up.


 
Watch them open! It must be the bewitching hour.

Look at that luscious foliage. Pretty good for an annual.
