Misty,

I have 4 O'clock seeds i could send you. D-mail me if you are interested. The one I have is "Broken Colors" and it grows quite big and wide. The blooms are wonderful!

Beetle traps work OK--if you keep them away from your garde. Too many people stick the traps right by their Roses, or something else the Beetles love to chomp on. If you do that--you are only attracting more Beetles tot he very plants you are trying to protect.
Read the directions on the traps--I believe it tells you to put them about 30' away and "downwind" (?)

Here's a picture of the "Broken Colors" 4's.
