Are we limited to one entry?  I can't decide between two photos of different flowers!

Mirabilis jalapa, Belle de Nuit - I don't know an English name for this.  They more usually come in just red or just yellow, but I managed to get some seeds from a French friend who had these multi-coloured flowers.  They flower very freely here and with an amazing variety of colour splashes.  I don't think they flower well in the UK unless you have a very sunny warm spot.

Jayb, I tried to send you a pm but your inbox is full apparently!  I wanted to ask you how about a category for best seed head?  A fairly wide field!  Peanuts

I love this sunflower, but I'm not sure where it came from, there were some sunflower seeds in the seed swop but I'm sure it is not these.
Amy suggestions welcome. I'm not sure if it will set seed, there are quite a few plants on the plot like this.
