Well, one of the plants on my hate list!
Hummejr, hummejr, hummejr!
Mirabilis jalapa.
Happy christmas to you also! You are becoming fluent in Maltese also

Why do you hate Mirabilis so much Pine? - is it because it's an alien?

Cute designed image Jackpot. Congratulations

I second Pine on this - marvel of peru / hummejr is sort of ok as an alien but years back I cultivated it on my sunny terrace and then it takes over with some huge roots/tuber ...awful !
One of my biggest mistakes in my greenfinger days - today I have little time but I intend to start a small indigenous terrace garden soon. I have a struggling sempreviva t'ghawdex to start with
next on list is the unique widnet il-bahar

ps. jackpot I recognised this one - very easy
