we have a pectranthus still inside... should move it outside in the shade on the porch it may be happier. I moved another house plant outside that I don't know the name of, which gets purple blooms and has fuzzy leaves and I nearly killed it by overexposing it to the elements

loving the lisianthus; in pots w/coleus and salvia
can't take my eyes off this zinnia; amazing colors
Joe pye is really tall
Physostegia virginiana (obedient plant) just started blooming in our butterfly garden. blooms must be comfy for bugs!
glad we got a few zinnias started this year
