When I was a boy, my mother grew Four O’Clocks. She explained to me that they got their name because, for most of the day, their blossoms are closed, but in the late afternoon, they finally open for just a few hours of daylight. Hardy plants, they produce copious amounts of seeds that bear a strong resemblance to pepper kernels. These belong to my dear Caitlin. Whenever I see them, I think of my wonderful mom.I thought that these leaves were a beautiful shade of yellow, so I am including them in today’s FOTD. Thank you, Cee!
