Portulaca is a small plant with attractive flowers. They are also called 10 o'clock flowers as they open at 10 in the morning.
Oleanders and Allamandas are flowering profusely in most of the gardens now.
The red Passion Flower is a winner.
The Golden Chalice vine is full of blooms now. The big yellow flowers complement the shining leaves of the vine. Although there are so many of those huge blooms on the vine every day, not a single flower gets pollinated. Perhaps our local birds and bees are not able to do it. Now I have started to pollinate the flowers with a brush, since I am curious to see the fruit.
On the other hand, each and every one of these Four 0'clock flowers
Mirabilis is pollinated by the butterflies. I thank the team of Today's Flowers.
