Isn't that the truth .. I just came back in from potting up rooted Solandra maxima cuttings for trades .. I'm sure I lost a pound or 2 from sweating. I must confess to preferring sweating to shivering .. but then again there is nothing better than sliding in to pre-warmed microplush sheets on a cold night! Lol.

Those geranium kept blooming their heads off past the first frost last year .. they were growing in large containers next to a southwest facing brick wall - it wasn't until we had that October hard freeze that they finally surrendered.

This year I grew some rare and hard to find daturas in the containers just to get more seeds.

The datura in the picture took bi-color to a new level .. it was suppose to be a Yellow Queen but apparently the parent plant got crossed with something else. The person I received the seeds from said huh? when I asked about open pollination.
