For at least 15 years, I’ve been trying to get a decent photo of this flower which grows like a weed all around the edges of my garden. This morning, I came the closest to doing so so far. The flowers are from 1 to 1.5 inches (~2.5 to 4 cm) across and come with a warning. They are so invasive that it is illegal to plant them in some states in the U.S. Wish I’d known this before planting them. Thanks to Forgottenman for finally identifying them for me.

Ten days ago, I published a photo of a totally white flower with a white ball in the center. Yolanda called it an arete flower, I knew it as a fuchsia and suspected it was a bleeding heart, but I’d never seen a totally white one before. A few days later, the white ball had turned red and I published another photo of it. Now, here it is opened up. Not a bleeding heart, but definitely a fuchsia and what Yolanda calls, in translation, an earring plant.
Here are links to the two earlier stages of the plant: https://judydykstrabrown.com/2020/05/01/white-fuchsia-fotd-may-1-2020/

The plumeria is blooming, swaying in the breezes,
Pleasing to the eye but prompting volcanic sneezes!

A few days ago I published a photo of an all-white Fuchsia that Yolanda calls an earring (Arete) plant. At the time, many of us said we’d never seen an all-white fuchsia. Yesterday I went out to see it again and this is what I saw. That central white ball has turned red and I predict the “earring” will be the same.
