Your impatiens lasted until about this time last winter if I do recall. They're only annuals so I'm sure it's something out of your control. Hope those gerbera and/or gazania seeds are not outside. That might have doomed them since they're warmer climate outdoor plants. Gerbera's are a pain to grow from seed anyway and the seeds are not cheap!!! Saw some nice yellow Strawflower plants last week, but didn't buy one. Maybe I'll swing by that place again this week. They had tons of them.

Like the e-card you shared today. Nice to look at and soothing music to go along with it. Made me get off the butt, go outside and pick a small bunch of flowers out in the yard. Here's a photo of what I picked and put in a small vase. They are" Chinese Delphinium, Echinacea, Reblooming Bearded Iris, Salpiglossis, Gaillardia, Sweet William, a Gerbera Daisy and a Snapdragon.
