Mirabilis - four o clock flowers / myLot

India

July 4, 2025 7:33pm CST

After a great deal of effort I introduced these flowers in our garden and they did show up for a while. I tried to propagate them by sowing seeds that came up but this heavy rain is not helping me to get them going. I have childhood memories of these flowers that bloomed profusely with many colour combinations. We used to visit this neighbour just to have a look at that abundance.

Really beautiful flowers I wish I had some of those in my garden. They would look really good Would add a bit of much needed variety of colour

Wow! That's lovely. Truly a riot of colors. Yes, this too much of rain is doing some damage too, though overall the garden looks lush green and happy.
