Well Gita, if you like, (and if you've not tossed those seeds out yet), I'll be glad to be your ROS seed guinea pig! =) I've never grown them, but I have ooooodles of patience to wait 'til it blooms. Could ya bring 'em to the swap please? I don't honestly care what color it/they turn(s) out to be, I just love trying something new.

Judy, that Judy Farquhar is a beauty, huh? I will keep an eye out for it from now on, until I find it for you. I did a short run to one of our growers a week or so back, picked up some random this-and-that stuff, and found this gorgeous DL "Mini Pearl". Ooooh that thing has been calling to me every darned day!!! They only had one, and MAN is she pretty!! Someone is going to HAVE to glue my hands to my head to keep me from bringing her home!

Oh, speaking of pretties... this was fun! Strolled the "big bed" this morning before heading out to the MVA and found a surprise! When I'd rescued the cutting (ya know, GOTTA rescue those cuttings.. y'all know how it is), I didn't pay attention to exactly what it was.. I guess it was a Portulaca! =) The lighting in the pic makes it look very white, but really it's a creamy pink with a very deep pink center. Whee!! =)
Also, had forgotten the past couple days to share this volunteer red verbena that's come to visit. :)
