The Evening Magic Flower
Mirabilis jalapa, often called the four o’clock flower, blooms when the day begins to soften. Its petals open in the late afternoon, showing bright shades of pink, yellow, white, red, or a mix of colors on a single plant. The flowers are trumpet-shaped and lightly fragrant, glowing gently in the dusk. Native to tropical America, it grows as a bushy plant with smooth, green leaves.
This flower symbolizes mystery, charm, and unexpected beauty. It thrives in warm climates with full sun and well-drained soil. With its colorful blooms and evening fragrance, Mirabilis jalapa brings a touch of quiet magic to every garden.
