    So beautiful! I really like that planter that's in front of your garage. The colors look great together. Love the rocks in your last two pictures. Your wave petunias in the first picture are doing better than my self sown ones. Mine are just starting to send out the runners. Maybe I'll have blooms by August. I've been giving them some Miracle Gro in hopes it may help speed things up a bit.

    Karen, you should try some Tidal Wave some time, they're really worth the price of the seeds, I think. Trouble is, we'll be going on vacation soon, and they'll probably never really recover after that. I'm going to give them a good haircut before I leave, but even that doesn't quite do it. They really need me. None of my pots ever recover from my vacation.

    Thanks for the compliments.

    That is gorgeous Karen!!!!! My coleus came up well too but I forgot to pinch it. Maybe I'll pinch it in September then plan them as new plants.

    Can I have seeds of this pink flowering plant? :) Thanks in advance!

    Neil, that one that you copied is echinacea Hot Papaya. It's a hybrid, and I couldn't find any seeds on it last fall.

    Thanks for the name. I'll look for it. :)

    I thought Hot Papaya was supposed to be orange. Yours looks hot pink. Glad I saw your pic before ordering one of those. It would stick out like a sore thumb in my red, orange, and yellow beds!

    And even if the echinacea did have seeds, most likely the children won't look the same as the parent, especially if there are other echincea growing nearby for cross pollination.

    Exactly, Karen.

    Hot Papaya is bright red. That pic was taken just before sunset and the color doesn't look quite right. Here's a shot from last year.

    Your gardens look just beautiful, Karen! My Tidal Waves didn't do well at all. Is that a crocosmia lucifer in the pic with the air conditioner?

    Looks great, Karen! Especially like the coneflower shot, with all the different colors. My goal, someday.

    Your coleus collection is getting to be quite impressive!

    Shirley, I don't have any crosmansia. The red plants are 2 remaining old gladiolus and the second round of flowers this year on Maltese cross.

    And thanks for the compliments.

    PV, are you growing any coleus this year?

    I did get a few from RD this year - only three, plus my perilla. I'll have to get a picture -
