I am unable to upload pix of my petunias to the PF this year b/c I can't 100% positively ID all the varieties. In the Spring, my seedsowing containers got blown over by winds and the tags, pots, and soil got mixed up and mis-placed.

They ARE pretty though and smell great! All of these petunias are heirlooms, also.
