Kim, I'm jealous of your love-in-a-mist. I tried to start some from seed this year (courtesy of Venu) and had no luck. I'm afraid I may have let them dry out a bit too much. I do have some balloon plant seedlings that are finally taking off though. One of them actually has some buds! so I will get to see them before they freeze LOL. I made a mistake though. thought they were the short ones and planted them in the front of the bed. then I checked and they are the taller variety. love your Goldfish plant :) and belated thanks for the pic of the blue & white nemesia...looks almost like a viola. very cute.

Victor, I may need to get some Autumn Joy sedum to plant with my ninebark. that is so pretty. I am really loving the color on the Summer Wine. Was it you who preferred the Dart's Gold? I may have to make room for another.

venu, the bees have been all over my obedient plant...just lovin' it. they also love the fennel. this was the best shot I could get, but I counted at least 5 on one head
