This flower/plant (annual) was given to my father by his mother through it's seeds. This year (now that I've moved into a house), my father has passed some onto me. We've done everything wrong with these seeds yet they continue to grow each season so they seem really resilient. I'll give you all the information I can. Seeds are the size of a small cherry pit or large grape seed. They are produced in something that I can only describe as a leaf 'holder' starting green and eventually (when ready to be plucked) turning black. The flowers open in the evening and shy away from the sun. Our varieties are yellow/fuschia and all combinations from striped to flecked with those 2 colours. They are trumpet-shaped and are small for the overall size of the plant. The plant itself grows about 2 feet high with broad green leaves. I've taken a few pictures in an attempt to help identify this mystery flower. http://fc.gedsb.net/~windlema/Flower/mysteryflower1.jpg http://fc.gedsb.net/~windlema/Flower/mysteryflower2.jpg http://fc.gedsb.net/~windlema/Flower/mysteryflower3.jpg
Thanks so much, it's easy to find information once you have the name, but we were flying blind. -Mark
Well, if you were blinded then you certainly wouldn't have been able to see what time it was--whether is was four-o'-clock or six.
