White four o'clock flowers are a summer delight. This perennial is known as Mirabilis ("wonderful" in Latin) jalapa (also written Xalapa) the state capital of Veracruz, Mexico. #nyctaginaceae #mirabilis #mirabilisjalapa #fouroclockflower #whiteflowers #mexicanplants #belledinotte #lamacchinafissa #inmygardentoday #instagarden #mezzogiardiniere #anthrocarp (presso La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCuGnzpJcbw/?igshid=1nbsjoopsdb2u

The shrimp plant somehow survived the mild winter outside. It might have been happier inside for a few months, but here it is, flowering again. #shrimpflower #justiciabrandegeeana #acanthaceae #mexicanshrimpplant #mexicanplants #mezzogiardiniere #rustico #rustcoloredflowers #lamacchinafissa (presso La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAPs0zoALiu/?igshid=1583b6o2h8wkj

Another special plant from Nancy J. Ondra: Tagetes lucida is a perennial plant native to Mexico, known as Mexican tarragon, sweetscented marigold, Mexican marigold, Mexican mint marigold, Sweet mace, Texas tarragon, Pericón, Yerbaniz, Hierbanís. I knew it was a perennial, but I was still shocked to see it reemerge from the soil. Smoked as a hallucinogen. #tageteslucida #mexicantarragonflowers #mexicanplants #mezzogiardiniere #grownfromseeds #provinciadimantova #inmygardentoday (presso La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRHp6y7FzI2/?utm_medium=tumblr

Cosmos sulphureus seedlings. If you don't know what seedlings of flowers and weeds look like, you can't weed a garden very effectively. A guest once gave me a helpful hint: tug on it lightly. If it comes right out, it was a flower, if it stays in the ground, it's a weed. 😂 #cosmos #cosmossulphureus #mexicanplants #seedlings #cotyledon #weeding #gardensofinstagram #plantidentificationhelp (presso La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAFWK-uAdtb/?igshid=1pd0f6g0zanvt

April leaves: Salvia elegans; pineapple sage. Originally from Mexico and Guatemala, but Mantova must be just mild enough to permit this sage to come back year after year. Leaves are fuzzy and not a joy on the tongue, but the scent and taste are unforgettable and the tiny red dart flowers that pop from the top of the branches in October through November make this sage one of my favorites. #leaves #salviaelegans #pineapplesage #lamiaceae #mexicanplants #herbs #gardening #botany #mezzogiardiniere #lamacchinafissa #readingretreatsinruralitaly (presso La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwJaJ92h_Yq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pq5ctl9ymmrf
