“Magenta trumpets”

Under the railway viaduct at dusk. Magenta flowers were beginning to open among the thick grasses. They were four o’clock flowers. These flowers, which are often seen in the city, open at night. Magenta, white and yellow flowers stand out very well when they are in bloom at night.  [AUGUST 2021]

Mirabilis jalapa

オシロイバナは、昼間は花を閉じていますが、日が暮れ始めると咲きだします。マゼンタ色の花のほかに、白、黄色などの花を見かけます。
