For my very first post about a particular plant, I absolutely had to make it about the 4 o’clock, also called Marvel-of-Peru which is a species of Mirabilis plant. Mirabilis in Latin means wonderful. I agree, these are wonderful plants. They grow fast and will be up to 1-4 feet high.
Why are they called 4 O’Clock? Because they open their blooms late in the afternoon and bloom all night, then in the morning as the light gets brighter, they close up.
