What's the Proper Name for this Red Flower?

I'd put this in the quiz section but I haven't the answer.

Nice guy, RJ. I make my mailman run a gauntlet. Star Jasmine on a trellis and Lavender along the walk and next to my porch. The Lavender is pretty much done blooming and the bees never did seem all that interested in the Jasmine.

I have a thoughtful friend who plants 4 o'clocks around his mailbox post. He says they don't open up each day until after the mailman has gone through, so he isn't botherd by bees.

He collects the seeds each year and plants them the next spring.

They're 4 o'clocks, I looked them up and compared the pics. Yes, I live in a warm climate, the Central Valley of California. It's not unusual to have "annuals" that overwinter.

4 o'clocks also come in an array of solid and varicgated colors. So maybe I'm mistaken.

If these are 4 o'clocks, you must live in a warm climate. Up north, we have to plant them anew each year. (The seeds are oval shaped, about 1/4 inch by 1/8 inch and turn black & have a hard shell.)

Thank you Hil, these things grow wild in my yard but are beautiful and are easy enough to keep in check.

My guess would be 'Four o’clocks (Mirabilis jalapa)' If indeed this is what it is, it's also a hummingbird favorite. :-)
