What a marvel!
Mirabilis jalapa - Marvel of Peru after sunset.
These two flowers are growing side by side on the same plant. This variation in colour of flowers within a plant gave rise to the genus name of this plant "Mirabilis" which means "amazing, wondrous, remarkable". It is also why it was given the common name of Marvel of Peru.
I hadn't noticed flowers with bright red anthers until I took this photo.
Natural light so quality not high. Pentax K5 0.8 f/20 ISO 6400 Pentax 100mm
