The farmer's cousin, who lives in the middle of our little village, grows them and they almost cover his house at this time of the year. I love their lucid, clear colours - as your obviously do. Always pop in if you are this way.
My favourites are the pale yellow with a hint of pink. Am always keen to think of colour combinations - if I do window boxes for summer I would go for yellow, pink and orange.
Wonderful post today. When I lived by the ocean I always had several hanging baskets of them. We even had a tiny wren build a nest in one. It was by the front door even ! But here in Tucson much to hot. I use to just cut off a stem by the joint and put them in water till they rooted. Don't know if that is correct or not ? But it worked for me.

ReplyDeleteDoes he proporgate them Pat? I am trying to find out how to. Yes we are due a visit!
DeleteI love their showy displays too. And so much variety.
ReplyDeleteNext year I am fancying window boxes - they would look beautiful with begonias.
DeleteI've loved begonias since I saw a huge display at a cottage in Cornwall.
ReplyDeleteI don't see them here...I wonder how they 'd do?
