Pretty Flowers




These flowers were planted from seed by my three children and their cousin Angie, on early April day. They took a long time to grow, since I didn't really pay much attention to them, and I didn't think they were really going to flower.

A few days ago, my sister Beckie was visiting and she was admiring the plants that her daughter helped to create. Bunches of flowers had been open the previous day, but when she was here, they were all tightly closed. Then, later that afternoon, I took this picture.

They seem to only open for about 12 to 18 hours at a time and they prefer to open when the sun isn't shining right on them. I have no idea what kind of plant this is, but it's really beautiful and fun!
