I can throw in M. viscosa. It is not hardy in zone 7, but seeds around a bit. It's closest to nyctaginea of the mentioned species, still I think it is ornamental, though just in the morning as it flowers from about 7 am to 2 pm. I haven't put it on the wiki since it doesn't seem to have the storage roots the other species have.

Over the years I've seen all three in local gardens. M. jalapa self-sows freely here and handsome, robust plants are sometimes seen as a weed in abandoned inner city lots.There is a fourth species which has not been mentioned yet: M. nyctaginea. I know this as a hardy, perennial weed. I first saw this one about fifty years ago growing as a roadside weed in Brooklyn, NY, USA, where it grew abundantly out of cracks in concrete paving. At first glance, it looked to me like some sort of scrawny hellebore. Of the species mentioned here, it is to my eyes the least ornamental. cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pbs -- Martin ---------------------------------------------- Southern Germany Likely zone 7a -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
