| Hi,
I saw these beautiful flowers at Pike Place Market yesterday. I wanted to know what the name and where I can possible buy them for next year. They were in a big hanging baskets hanging all around the eaves of the Market. They are like trailing vines. Ed |

| The leaves and flowers are edible too. Has a mustard flavor, though the flowers considerably less so. Some colors also smell very nice. They are easiest to grow as an annual from seed, as they don't transplant very well. |

| And hummingbirds love them! I've never had much issue growing them from starts - I'm not patient enough to grow anything from seed :-) Starts should be available at any retail plant seller in our area next spring although there is still plenty of time to grow them from seed if you are a more patient gardener than I :-) They germinate in just a matter of days. |

| And they come in a wide range of colors. They are one of the flowers I plant in the veggie bed each year. FataMorgana |
