Very pretty!

Thanks. I didn't plant it. Maybe a bird planted a seed.

Or nicotine/nicotonia?? I hope it's 4 o'clocks! I love them!

I think it is the four o'clock 'Limelight', I planted several this year and they look like your picture.

Please read about the seeds and roots- I just this year planted some, and many have said that the 4 o'clock is an enthusiastic seeder, and also that the roots can get quite large. (I made sure that none were planted directly over the water pipe to the house).

Looks like Mirabilis jalapa, the marvel of Peru/ four o'clock.

Yes, Four O' Clock.

The bird that dropped the seed in that pot really did you a favor - it's so pretty!

Don't you love good surprises like this one!!!!

Love 4 O'Clocks!

Pretty flowers. I like the unique shape of their seeds.

We love the fragrance on a hot evening.

Very likely, the seed was dropped in the pot by accident at the nursery when the other flower was planted.

My 4 o'clocks, which I planted for the first time last year, got HUGE. They choked out everything I had planted around them so I didn't care for them! We dug them out and this year we have more coming up. Now that I know how big/invasive they can get, I will keep a better eye on trimming/pulling them out.

I planted the other plant, a brugsmansia, into the pot. I dug it up from the ground where it wasn't doing well and put into the pot so I could take it in during winter. Either the seed was in the dirt with the brugsmansia or dropped in later. I have never grown 4'oclocks and have none on my 2 1/2 acres. It is mystery.
