very nice, gorgeous colour contrast, maybe you'll be able to keep the seeds if it's growing through the fence!

I like this one too Haighr :)

Lil, I could probably harvest the seeds but unfortunately they wouldn't look much like the parent :(.

Ahh sadly I went by early on Thusrday and it was no longer poking through the fence. Never mind, I've got too many plants as it is :)

If it ever pokes it's way through the fence, or if you could sneak a cutting over the fence, I've never found anything so easy to start. I actually just stick it in the ground and it takes off. It's a no-brainer. Mine grows in full shade - and those bright flowers sure do light up the corner. And in my zone 9 garden it blooms 12 months of the year. Lilith, I'll see if I can collect the seeds from mine. I'm not really sure how you do it - whether to let them dry on the flower or not, but mine's blooming now. The flowers on the one I have aren't large - but they are the same form and color. I have a couple more - one with variegated leaves and the one in the photo that I can try to collect too.

Oops, here's the photo. This was taken in the middle of November.
