Shelly: Thank you! Grace was just trying to see what I was taking a picture of... I don't think she's too impressed by the plants...

The "puny one is Tropical Sunset and the Larger one is V. Orange. Back in the winter I asked for advice where to buy them, I had a few people offer some cuttings for postage, then my puter crashed, I lost all my emails, so I bought some from someplace that was recommended, but where? LOL

I also bought some seed crosses from Cala, but, they didn't germinate for me. I guess I'm Brug seed challenged! My daylily seeds and moonflower seeds did great, I've got morning glories everywhere... but not a single brug from seed. :-( I should have just given them to BS!

These have been growing since February. I would have thought they'd be much bigger by now?

Back2back: That is my baby... Edie Grace, we rescued her from a track in Birmingham Alabama.... I got her Mothers day 5 years ago. :-) She is the neatest dog I've ever had.

Gretchen: I've got a time release fert on them, I water with Miracle Grow and Maxicrop. Both are in pots where the water stays in the bottom all the time.

What is the best fertilizer for them? How fast do they normally grow, and how many years before they'll bloom?

Thanks Brugie. :-)

Thanks Moko, I like her pretty well too. :-)

PoppySue--she probably has a ton of advice for me, she talks to me all the time, I just can't always understand her! :-)

She was smiling at me earlier today. :-)
