**The Marvel-of-Peru (Mirabilis jalapa), also known as the “Four O’Clock Flower,” is a fascinating plant that charms gardeners with its vibrant colors and unique blooming habit. True to its nickname, the flowers often open in the late afternoon or early evening, releasing a sweet, delicate fragrance that lingers through the night. By morning, the blooms close again, creating a daily cycle of surprise and delight.** ![1000021709.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbHZwk974Qwg1Tx92de8mYTPpZ2W8tFg6H7wwFYkBjYtp/1000021709.jpg) ![1000021705.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcd1eH192WSi8tYsJcddxBqNkSXat7XFUTNv3ZQkGyTsU/1000021705.jpg) ![1000021711.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaywQbrnHREjY3m3hUsMS2HxhV4rmJQNoqF66uJg9i5RG/1000021711.jpg) ![1000021707.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWvq7uR5Tgw9TMvHgFnunxsQhJSQ1d6RFTZENFofx4q8x/1000021707.jpg) **Native to tropical America, the Marvel-of-Peru is celebrated for its colorful personality. One of its most enchanting traits is its ability to produce flowers of different colors on the same plant – even a single bloom can have multiple shades, creating a painter’s palette of pink, yellow, red, white, or a mix of them all. This playful variety makes it a favorite in ornamental gardens.** ---
