GL, I love that Oenothera, lovely pink! I've seen it in Yellow before too, which is pretty but I am just a pink kinda gal!

Ibrabec: That Fan Flower is beautiful! I have seen Scaevola on occasion at our local garden centers but have never tried it in the garden, didn't know if it would survive the heat down here for very long. I just found listings for different ones in PF: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/adv_search.php?searcher[com... and there are a few reports of growing in Florida!

We've had a lot of stuff blooming here for the past three or four months but then we had those flooding rains and some heavy winds that knocked a lot of plants for a loop. I have two huge Gardenia bushes and after 8 or 9 straight days of heavy rains, the ground was covered with flowers. Three large Oleanders, white, light pink and dark pink were in full bloom, those were knocked off too. I had three Rose bushes full of blooms two weeks ago ... I'm sure there will be new buds before long. This Rose is a Noid that has been around for years ... had a name at one time but ya know how that goes!
