Hi BJ. Thanks again for the cuttings of your Firstday X Rosabelle. The Rangoon is a wonderful vine. The flowers open dark red and gradually turn white or pale pink. You won't believe the fragrance. I picked some on Sunday for a flower arangement. Tonight they still smell wonderful.
My R.C. has gotten so big this summer that I am going to have to cut it back to get it in for the Winter. I will see if I can root some for you.

I am going to check with Scooter and see if the Cupids Blush gets dark for her. These plants are planted in an old fish pond that has been filled with bags and bags of potting soil, manure and peat. The sunflowers were just tiny starts last fall and they are over 6' tall. There are Daturas and some pink and white brugs too. Everything in there is doing great. The pond was 3 foot deep, so this group of plants are growing in the best soil on my farm. LOL

This is the Cupids Blush shot this afternoon, it's getting darker too.
