Thanks, but there were no special effects used other than the circular mask -- that is the real flower color. Happy Gardening!

Hazel: That's very sweet of you! It was fun doing. Now that the weather is a little cooler, I have had some time to "work" on my digital flower collection. Hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving holiday! Gretchen

Lovely, this two-coloured flower. I got a cutting once, but I couldn't get it to grow, probably this cultivar is weaker or more difficult than the single-coloured ones

KJ -- this is the wrong time of year to buy them. Mine are all blooming again. You can purchase the little pots at Wal-Mart for about what it would cost in postage for a small cutting. Please check back with me around August/September and I will see then if I have any starts or cuttings that I can send you for SASE.

That'd be great! And, the one in the picture either came from Wal-Mart or Home Depot, but it was several years ago when I bought the last one. Anyway, just drop me a line at the end of the Summer :)
