Hi, this flower appeared in my garden and I've been having trouble figuring out what it is.

Does it bloom in the late afternoon/early evening?
It looks a lot like a 4 o'clock, but it's hard to tell in the pic...

Yes is does bloom in the evening. I just looked up 4 o'clocks and they look exactly like this flower. I don't know very much about 4 o'clocks. Actually I've never heard of it, or seen it before. Is it possible that it spread from a neighbor's yard?

that is quite possible, as the seeds are very easy to germinate..this is one of the first plants I was able to grow in my childhood flower garden.
They get pretty impressive root systems, so they can be a bit of a nuisance to move/get rid of.
I like them tho, as hummingbirds, butterflies and moths seem to love them.
