| I am loving these bright, adorable flowers! I planted them in a hanging basket with a bacopa and they are doing quite well and are so full of flowers. I have never grown them before, so I'm hoping they will do well for the entire summer. They are Angie Orange and Angie Blue. I forget what the bacopa is right now.
I also think it's cute that the flowers close up at night, and reopen the next day with the sun. In the pictures they were starting to close. Karen |

| Fantastic! Thanks for sharing. Were they bought or grown from seed? |

| They were bought. The colors really caught my eye in the nursery and I knew I had to have them. Karen |

| Very pretty. Scarlet Pimpernel is a native wild flower here. The opening and closing habit in response to light led to the traditional name 'Poor Man's Weatherglass'. Blue is rare in the wild but does sometimes occur. |
