Yes, early stage of fruiting of Mirabilis jalapa. When the fruit matures, it turns to dark black.

Yes I like the jet black color of these seeds. Infact because the seed did not look jet black that I remember I was attracted towards it and photographed it

We call the flowers "4'O Clock flowers" as the flowers usually bloom at that time. It has a nice fragrance also.
