Also ours still have a few flowers hanging tough. Maybe it is too hot down there for them to have a long bloom time. I find that quite strange since they are susposed to be a southern flower.Jean Merrimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10135474696468199060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-44531322864626606712012-05-15T19:47:14.348-05:002012-05-15T19:47:14.348-05:00What a lovely flower...I love how it grows and fad...What a lovely flower...I love how it grows and fadesDonna@Gardens Eye Viewhttp://gardenseyeview.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-29203818159219508752012-05-15T18:56:49.651-05:002012-05-15T18:56:49.651-05:00Lovely!
