Chocolate tithonia is not one I remember, nice large leaf too, a good one. The cobaea is still in full out bloom here as well. Eveytime I go by the arbor, another five feet or so of vine has appeared. It is reaching out to all passersby and the arborvitae hedge.

The scroll over thing is excellent, Chuck, and Pam is so right about the light. I tried some of mine 3 times over the weekend and they're just flat. <br /> <br />At this house I can only get Pansies to grow in a pot or hanging basket. I suspect the pillbugs commit pansicide when they're planted directly into a flower bed.Annie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8759330860236504280.post-45057278176057932472009-11-15T15:48:47.137-08:002009-11-15T15:48:47.137-08:00The fuchsias are lovely!The fuchsias are lovely!Robin's Nesting Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05894844125547373328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8759330860236504280.post-36581249679111944932009-11-15T15:36:13.851-08:002009-11-15T15:36:13.851-08:00I was hoping you'd post some pictures of your ...I was hoping you'd post some pictures of your gorgeous fuchsias!
