Hello Everyone!!
mjsponies,what a sweet couple you guys make!! And, he loves your plants to boot, how lucky can you get? lol Maybe you can put a pergola or some structure attached to your existing greenhouse, then cover it in plastic in the winter for your Philos. That was how mine got started, a small heater on the coldest nights.

floridabunnie, that is a Blue potato bush, it will probably grow like a weed in your zone but I find it to be well behaved and a great little bloomer.

dyzzy, I am always in awe of how fast your plants are growing. They will take root easily, just stick the broken pieces in the ground and forget them.
I will have to find some seeds for that purple vinca next spring. I sometimes find rare seeds in early spring at Wal-Mart before they are picked over.
That is so unusual with the Brugs, mine are doing the same, the blooms are splitting and distorted.

GAgirl1066, I am jealous of your hibiscus blooms, every one I click is lovelier than the next.

Joeswife, I second what ardesia said, if you can't get them to bloom no one can!
Good picture of you, you seem so elegant.

Kay Jones, thanks for sharing those beautiful little devils with us, I saw a few buds on mine yesterday.
