	Mirabilis jalapa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mirabilis jalapa (The four o'clock flower or marvel of Peru) is the most commonly grown ornamental species of Mirabilis.
		A curious aspect of this plant is that flowers of different colours can be found simultaneously on the same plant.
		He used the plant's variegated leaves to prove that certain factors outside the nucleus affected phenotype in a way not explained by Mendel's theories.

	Welwitschia mirabilis
		The plants are seldom found more than 100 to 150 km from the coast, and their distribution coincides with the fog belt.
		The largest plants are found to the south where the rainfall is the least, whereas in the north where the rainfall is higher the plants are much smaller.
		Plants from arid regions are often lost to fungal infection caused by soil with a high organic content.

		This Welwitschia is a plant of remarkably bizarre habits and survives in very harsh localities where the annual rainfall is often less that 25 mm and where the coastal fog is equivalent to about further 50 mm.
		One of the large plants measure 1.5 m from the soil surface to the highest part of the stem.
		Both these kinds of plants are well adapted to an area which receives an average of less than 20 mm of rain a year, and then mostly in single downpours.

		I put the young plants in a couple of buckets with just a little water (planning to plant them elsewhere later-but ran out of time!) and they are still green and fresh-looking after 4 days--so, this is a very easy plant to grow.
		I grow from seed plants with yellow flowers and plants with red/fuchsia flowers and although both varieties are fragant the yellow one is distinctly more fragrant.
		I suggest (In hot places) growing the plants where the sun will either not touch them first thing in the morning or in the later evening so that the flowers can be enjoyed longer before they are smitten by old Apollo’s spear.

		Welwitschia mirabilis plants are unusual for their large, straplike leaves that grow continuously along the ground.
		During its entire life, each plant produces only two leaves, which often split into many segments as a result of the leaves being whipped by the wind.
		The most common method of cultivation is to pot the plant into a long upright section of ceramic drainage pipe.

		Many seeds, particularly in the house plant range, can be sown indoors at almost any season of the year.
		Others, for example bedding plants, have a much limited sowing season because the plants need to be at just the right stage when planted out.
		This is best achieved by placing the plants outside in a cold frame for around a week before planting out.
