| Grew batfaced cuphea in a couple of different places. With a little shade the flower was lighter, almost two toned pinkish.

| Thanks, Jaynine. I looked up summer meldley and agree that it looks like that cuphea instead of bat-faced. Trades aren't always what one expects and I was going by the trader's name on the packet. |

| now i'm second guessing myself and thinking it might be 'firefly'. what do you think? well, whatever it's name is, it's great! |
RE: Bat faced Cuphea

| I looked at 'Firefly' but think my seeds are more likely to be 'Summer Medley' as different plants had different coloring in their blooms. As I was researching it appears that the term batfaced can be used as a generic term for these type of cuphea. I really was hoping for ones that had more black in the center but find these quite lovely. |

I agree.
All your pictures are just beautiful and are making me yearn for warm weather. |

| Thank you for the compliment on my photos. I am not really much of a photographer. Have an automatic point and shoot digital camera that I well...point and shoot. Maybe if I read the instructions I could get better photos. Please share any photos you have of your gardens. |
