| I bought these so called japanese wonder flowers at NJ flower and garden show from a dutch vendor who comes every year at these shows to sell hardy bulbs.

Does any one know what plants are these ? Wonderflowers seems like just a popular name .. lol. I have a border on one side of my driveway which gets 60% shade and 40% sun. Can I plant these bulbs along this border. I had trouble growing plants which require full sun in this border but calladiums did fine last year. Pls let me know if any other gardeners had luck with this plant. |

| Googling "wonderflowers" I get a commercial page with a photo of Mirabilis jalapa. |

| I just bought some at the Chicago Flower show and in looking around I'm finding that it is the bulb Four O'Clocks which is not winter hardy but supposedly reseeds profusely. I think we probably paid too much for bulbs that we could have simply bought some seeds if we wanted Four O'clocks. I'll probably try them just to see what they look like since I've made the investment!! |

| I totally agree with you melrose. I paid about $15 for 5 bulbs of the four o clock plant. Really feel kind of bad seeing all my local nurseries are selling the seeds for under $2. |
