voss, the brugs aren't out front. I have them in the back on the east side of the house, where they get some relief from the sun...I do love the blooms, and last year I didn't seem to have so much of this problem with them.

RachelLF- I love the Pipevines and Passionflowers...well vines in general......got some climbing all over the place...I have 3 other pipevine also,
I'm heading to the farmers market this week, hope I can find a few more Alstroemeria ( I call them 'Asto" plants cause I can never remember how to pronounce or spell !

I love Tropicbreeze's monsoon forest picture, looks very peaceful and "cool" !

Prita you love the Dianthera, it's very easy too !
It's raining here today...We've been outside working on the beds...expanding this one...I couldn't fit the far right hand edge of it in. There are calidums, Purple Phillipine violet, several japanese sages and chinese sages, hardy rex type begonias, flowering maple tree ( right in a spot between the oaks that gets high dappled sun, Obediant plant, coleus, jacobina, dianthera nodesa. I'd like to find some very "flat" pretty foliage plants for the front, whatever goes in there needs to be happy with only a bit of "hardly full sun" high dappled sun/shade. Since I have my favorite sages in there is pretty sharp well drained soil also.
