And....Sinningia. Capt Kirk made a mess of his gardens--cuts EVERYTHING to the ground after blooming, has no regard for plant culture/needs, and refuses to water anything in any weather. I fear the trees he had planted this spring will not be strong enough to make it through the winter. He never seeks information, and rejects any info offered, even that by professional growers. So my hopes to garden this year are gone. I've given him plants and seeds(many donated by Pixie), along with suggestions of where they might do well---he then does his own thing and nothing has survived. The seeds I planted, with his permission, he dug up within a week. How did I get off on this? Here's my sinningia--people grow these in their gardens in the tropical climes.
