Thanks, Holly! I'm intrigued by the idea. Let me know if you ever try it.
SSG, don't worry about it, I just thought I'd ask in case you were already planning it.
1: the velvet queen sunflowers again so you can see the whole plant.
2: I believe this is "Mickey Mouse" Colocasia. Rec'd in trade this year. Affected by mites but I haven't treated it yet.
3. I love this seedling coneflower. It has short round bracts which make it looks so sweet. I will have to destroy it though, as I believe it has Asters Yellow. :(
4: Indian Summer is still going! My 'dynamite' CM is still young, and doesn't bloom true, it has a bit too much pink in it. I think it gets too much shade. I've come to terms with the alternate color now. Please disregard the wilting coleus. I did rectify that after the picture was taken.
5: caladium from Gita. It's beautiful!
