White 24 hour Flower

This plant is growing in a pot in my Sisters yard. It starts the day with a mass of tight buds and by early evening it will have fully opened to a large flower about 5" to 6" across, over night this flower will have decayed and a new batch of tight buds nearly 4" long will have appeared.

Think what amazed me was that it could be so productive stuck in a pot in the yard of someone who is not known to be a proficient gardener and probably ignores it apart from being astonished by it's productivity. Where it manages to find the required nutrition and water from to flower as it does during the very long hot summer of southern Spain.

If only that were true MS, she has had the builders in all year to rebuild and underpin the house to stop is sliding slowly down the mountain side. So most of her land is a combination of rock and the arid land of the area liberally mixed with cement dust and building debris.

She has the white plant above, a small tree with mini oranges on, also in a pot and two potted Yucca. Growing in the ground she has 3 plants one Jasmin, one cactus prickly pear and a climing plant I should know but can't think what it is, all covered in building dust and cement. Have photos will sort them out.

Thank you those who have commented it is always nice to know someone has looked

Aw that's a shame, maybe when her building work is all sorted out, I'd love an orange tree.

I adore Bourganvilleas(have I spelt that right?) she should be able to grow them in abundance, not jealous

Still, the white plant is lovely.
