My aunty gave me some seeds from a plant at her house to grow, but she cant remember what the plant is called. I have since successfully grown two pots worth of the seeds but as theyre getting bigger I need to know the name of them to find out the best way to care for them..
I have attached a picture of the original plant if any one thinks they recognize it please let me know, it would be a big help. Thanks.

Mirabilis jalapa, aka Four O'Clocks. For future reference there is a forum on Garden Web called Name That Plant which is the best place to get ids. It is very active.

Here is a link that might be useful: Name That Plant Forum
