The flowers of the cactus, Echinopsis oxygona, open all at once and only last a day or two. But the explosion is spectacular especially as more and more plants mature within one area. You can also trigger a bloom by watering after a dry period.
Cup and Saucer VineCup and Saucer Vine
A little exotic but worth attempting in San Diego. This is Cobaea scandens, also known as Cathedral Bells or Monastery Bells and is native to Mexico. It is a vine that may do better wrapping around another plant rather than on its own trellis. The flowers change from pale to darker purple so you can get a range of coloration.
