ima, Gorgeous! I just spent over an hour reading a lot of the connected links. Enabler! You go girl! :)
OCCarol, the "proper" name for it is Tecoma stans. I'll be happy to share seeds with you. I prefer to call it a honey bird bush. I can remember it, and it's descriptive too. It is a bush and the lower limbs get droopy, but I like it even if it is bigger than I thought it would be. Lots of gorgeous color.
I guess I'd better go and make up some baggies for collecting the various colored 4 O'clock seeds. They may or may not breed true. I'll try to to label the bag with a photo # & date. Sounds like a good project for tomorrow early morning when they are still open. Some have already set seed. I have one in the gh that is a cream color, not white, a pale cream color. Hopefully it'll show up on the photo. I like that one a lot.
Caught this little guy defending the above ground mini lily container in the raised planter. There were two big orange ones too. He has his work cut out for him.
