Planted 3 cells of these today, with 3 seeds to a cell.

The seeds I planted didn't amount to much, but today I received a start from Michele, (Badseed). I planted it in the circular garden.

I planted the seedlings I started in the circular garden today also. Don't know if they will make it though, 'cuz they are still pretty feeble looking and haven't changed in a month or so.

Well, the one from Michele is doing great!

Got one from Iris on DG in 2004. Planted it on the east side of the house and it's blooming today!
