Hi!

Just want to spotlight my Maravillas (4 o’clocks)! I am of Mexican heritage, so these being one of the first flowers domesticated in Mexico, I had to have em! I have a full patio full of them.

Not only are they gorgeous they also smell wonderful.

I grew these many years ago. You can’t find them locally anymore. They were easy care and constant bloomers! They warmed my heart as my row of zinnias died an ugly death while the 4 o’clocks thrived!😄

They are pretty easy to find online! I found so different color ones that should be arriving soon!!

Also wildflower and pollinator mixes have these seeds in them! That is how I got my first ones (pictured)!

They are beautiful! 😍 I have not seen the striped flowers before. I will have to check online.
