I have 8 different kinds of thunbergia, Donna. LOL. And 4 of them are very aggressive. I have no business having them. LOL

Thank you Pam, but the truth is that it is not so hot in person. LOL But that bougainvillea is incredible. It needs a trim right now. I need to buy a taller pole cutter.

Exactly true Buns. And my DH wants his lawn back. Little as it is.

Doris, sadly that white one is a typical suav. It is the most common one that you get. There is really nothing too exciting about it.. When you grow as many as I grow, it is a huge disappoinment when you see it open. A waste of soil, fertilizer, space and my time. However, I now pick the seeds I grow with much more knowledge so I rarely get one like this anymore. In a few days I will post a white suav. that is captivating and has so much personality. Or it did for the last 2 years. LOL

Give yourself some time. I have been at this for a while now and at it with a vengeance. Some might say at it like a nut. To do the work I do on these and spend the money I spend on these, I would have to be nuts.

Here are my rented plots tonight. I added a 3rd one this year. I have to go and water before or after work. We just planted another 130 seedlings here. The water pressure is horrendous. It now takes me 2 straight hours plus to water here. We get no rain in the summer, so I have to do this frequently. I also spend at least a few hours to all day here every weekend. Plus I have another yard I grow seedlings in and my own yard. I am looking for a 4th place because I love to suffer.
