Waiting for four o'clock is not unreasonable, but I did this just to prove that there is a type of flower that grows in my yard and the local people call it the four o'clock flower in the afternoon. When I asked local people why this flower is called the four o'clock flower, they answered that this flower starts to bloom in the afternoon at around four o'clock. That's the reason I waited until four in the afternoon just to prove what people say about the flower which has the scientific name Mirabilis Jalapa.

The Mirabilis Jalapa flower is a flower with the local name four o'clock flower because it starts to bloom at around four in the afternoon. Flower colors vary from white, red and yellow. But the flower I found was red.
The Mirabilis Jalapa flower has not yet bloomed and is still wrapped in green petals, after it blooms and opens the petals a bright red flower crown appears and is quite beautiful.
I also found Mirabilis Jalapa flower seeds which can be planted to be used as seeds. These flower seeds are black and round with a size of only a few millimeters.
