these are looking really good- almost all lived, of course I have them labeled as impatiens, but who knows what that was about- very happy with these guys

ok, not sure what has survived and what hasn't out there- badly labeled to begin with, and my knowledge of leaves is pretty minimal
the sun got most of these anyway- the hardy ones lived (go nasturium, marigolds, geraniums and morning glories- well outside morning glories lived, inside ones all croaked)
