Description
Mirabilis jalapa, the marvel of Peru or four o’clock flower, is the most commonly grown ornamental species of Mirabilis plant, and is available in a range of colours. Mirabilis in Latin means wonderful and Jalapa is the capital of Veracruz México. Mirabilis jalapa was cultivated by the Aztecs for medicinal and ornamental purposes.A curious aspect of M. jalapa is that flowers with different colours grow simultaneously on the same plant.
Different color variation in the flower and different color flowers in same plant.
Variegated flower on a four o’clock plant.
Naturally occurring color variation on four o’clock flowers.
Additionally, an individual flower can be splashed with different colours. Flower patterns are referred to as sectors (whole sections of flower), flakes (stripes of varying length), and spots. A single flower can be plain yellow, pink or white, or have a combination of sectors, flakes and spots. Furthermore, different combinations of flowers and patterns can occur on different flowers of the same plant. Another interesting point is a colour-changing phenomenon. For example, in the yellow variety, as the plant matures, it can display flowers that gradually change to a dark pink colour. Similarly white flowers can change to light violet.
