The 4 O'clock flower Mirabilia has colonised all the vacant plots in my suburb. The colours it comes are amazing. Sometimes the same plant shows pink and yellow flowers. It propagates itself by the black pepper like seeds, as well as by the tubers.
The Indigo Plant Indigofera tinctoria has pink flowers, though its leaves are used to obtain a blue dye. This plant is found on hillsides.
Another plant found on vacant plots is the Black-eyed Susan Thunberia alata. It is a vine, but not very invasive. It flowers profusely throughout the year.You can see more wildflowers in the blog Clay and Limestone.
Always enjoy winding down my afternoon with your lovely flowers! Have a wonderful day!
