Eleanor...I think you're absolutely right! Looking at my plants I just might have 17 bells next week! hehe. I was so close to pulling them or just pruning them back and noticed some buds! I think there's hope! It's just weird though. They're a funny plant and I haven't had much luck with them, but keep on trying because I think they're beautiful! Bought some tangerine colored ones tonight from Target!

IIIoquin...Yeah, that's my house and would you believe, I've moved those pots already!!! I liked them, but they just weren't doing it for me!

That planter, is one of the coolest things. It's a stackable planter and basically you can't overwater as it's outfitted with reservoirs.They say it's self-watering, but I'm not so sure about that as I've constantly got the hose out! I started out with a lot of herbs and mixed a few flowers in and It's out of control right now and needs some TLC. However, I've got loads of Parsley, Lemon Balm, Oregano, Rosemary and Basil. I cook a lot and just walk out there and grab a handfulll of what I need. That's probably why it does so well as I'm constantly unintentionally pruning it. It really would be gorgeous with a total mixture of flowers...

The place I bought it from has a website that has been under construction for the last 5 months, but I also found it on Ebay and looks to be a better price...I really do highly recommend this planter. It's really good.
