Not positive RC, I believe it's 'Rosea'. I just looked yours up in PF...as much as I like it, I won't be growing it here. To tender for Maine!!

Garden Photos '09.....#39
It may even be too tender for here, from what i've read! But, I picked it up for a really good price on a sale table, so I decided to take a chance! hopefully it will reseed itself. I should've guessed rosea, I always forget that it's so cute and hardy.
Vendors just like to tempt us into zone pushing when they put sales like that out! lol
like that water shot shelly!
So pretty! I'll say it again I need more plants, I hardly have anything going on right now.
heres what I found today
the second collage
nice joann
Very nice. I love the colors in collage 6960450.
My Hibiscus is in bloom!
I might have to change my mind about hybiscus's
We have a spring & early summer garden, need more fall things besides sedum.
I love fall asters.Purple dome and woods blue.
Not the tall invasivs.
Chrysanthemums too
Nice shots, everyone.
Tommy.... beautiful hibiscus!
Jo Ann.... nice collages, in particular the first one.
Pixie... I agree completely about that zone pushing with vendors! I really have a pet peeve about that. I don't mind when I walk into it knowingly (as was the case with this one), but I really get pi$$&@ when I'm having to trust the vendor, or their tag, and find out afterwards that it's three zones off! The tag on that Limerock Dream actually says zone 4b, but we are all learning that that's a rare occurrence! Zone 8, is probably the reality.
Thanks Bill!
Fall is my best garden season!
Thanks RC
Ive been up since 4AM so I'm off to bed and TV for an hour
Hi Y'all, I'd like to introduce myself...sorry I've been out of the loop. I was having serious PC problems coupled with a whole bunch of stuff going on. I have been catching up the past few days. Everyone's photos are beautiful and produce some,actually quite a bit, of envy on my part. I don't have much going on right now. But I do have this one beautiful bloom that is liking this August heat. I don't do annuals except Impatients but this guy is making me rethink that. Really, really rethink that.
So who are you???
Sounds Good Jo Ann! For once, I was actually getting up for the day when I was talking to you this morning. So I know how that goes!
Hey Venu....long time no see! pretty impatiens
Ahem...my name is weeze or venu or Louise or hey you.....VICTOR! You're such a bad boy, and we love it.
RC, that's no Impatients, I wish it was! :)
which osteo is that in your first collage Ge?
WWWEEEEZZZZEEEE... I missed you!!!
Thanks Allison! I wuv you too. I saw your post about Wellsweep, I drooled a bit but had to go with my neice's band that very same evening.....Whhoooooo Hoooooo the Stoney Pony and great music(yes I am prejudiced) and of all people that I know you are the one that would love their music....but we can exchange plants and I'll bring their music ;)
Very true Venu, it's a petunia. I had just read that you only grow impatiens, when it comes to annuals, and switched the names! It's good that you're keeping me on my toes, or annuals as it were.
Nope, RC,It's not a petunia! You have to guess again:) Wow I didn't know how much fun DG is ;)
Looks like a Morning Glory.
Hey Weeze!!! Glad your back.
Yep, that's what I get for not taking the time to enlarge the picture and for having been up for 18 hrs. already. But, it's pretty.
bugs eye view
a bigger bugs view
Then there's the bugs!
and looking at them a little closer.
Hi RC
hI oNEWISH. I dont know the name of the osteo. I was told its a new variety
neat shots RC.... love the colors on that osteo GE... let me know if the name pops up
I never knew the name.
I bought it in a small group of plant salesmen in a parking lot.
The woman said it was a new variety,
Its been hard to get it to bloom as profusly as the others but I think its because it's not as much sun as they like.
I really like osteos but theyre touchy around here.
I bought 5 plants and only 3 are blooming now ,2 died.
I get the same here... my ones from seed are hit & miss
I dont usually do seeds.
I did some agastache Apricot sprite and they are great.
I think you grew some and I wanted a lot of it in a spot and didnt want to pay for larger plants from Forest farm.
I did order 2 from them but I wonder if its the same plant.
My seed apricot sprites are short 18-24 inches.
Here is Forest Farm'plants.
These plants are at least 30 inches high

nice shot's shelly - looks like that spider is hanging out to trap a bee.
I used to call them Crab spiders.
Hey, Weeze, glad to see you again. Can you believe I never went to the Stone Pony when I was growing up? I missed out on Bruce starting out.
Pretty color blue.
