Make sure you have their "alarm" clock set to the right time. Tell them that they are suppose to be on "swing" shift and not "day" shift..

sorry i don't understand the question =[
Your in the wrong time zone.
Four o'clocks (Mirabilis jalapa) respond to an evening temperature drop by opening and blooming all night; the flowers usually close the next morning. One possibility is that the temperature is not dropping enough for them to bloom. Another possibility is that four o'clocks often do not bloom the first season they are planted. Finally, if their soil is too rich (too much nitrogen) they may not bloom well.
I hope this has been helpful! I have four o'clocks.
This plant is unique that it opens in the late afternoon and remain open all night and usually close before noon the next day.
Enjoy the evening fragrance.
