Mirabilis Jalapa

Shot them again tonight.  I discovered there's a whole "Mirabilis Jalapa" group on Flickr so now I'm motivated.

All Four O'Clock shots are here!

Wesley's Four O'Clocks

These are my husband's Four O'Clocks. I don't care for them particularly. The blossoms are beautiful but they come with an abundance of tall, bushy foliage. They also grow all over town in the ditches and vacant lots if they're low enough (to catch water) so I don't know why we have to have them in the yard

But he hates my Golden Bamboo and I won't prune it unless he threatens to dig it all up so I guess it all works out.


Update: I'm seeing a few Monarchs! WOOT! I saw them in our alley as I was driving home from the grocery store so put the cold stuff up and ran back out into the alley hoping to see them again. We have a mountain of Queen's Wreath out there. No luck, the Monarchs were GONE. So I just randomly shot the Queen's Wreath blossoms instead. Ho hum.
