If you never seen this one in your area, the chance is that this plant won't grow well in your zone. Well, you have a lot more plants that we can not grow south here :)Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07744078497819915126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8867788905122040228.post-89425039043064638632010-08-14T02:24:31.034-04:002010-08-14T02:24:31.034-04:00what a beautiful collection you have!

I actually grew them for some quick shading, and they are now!<br /><br />NanaK: I had my eyes on those Curcumas before I went back to China when they were sold at HD. But I did not have much time before the trip, so I waited coming back. I was real happy that they were still there waiting for me at HD :)Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07744078497819915126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8867788905122040228.post-54420038419604130742010-08-12T22:04:09.780-04:002010-08-12T22:04:09.780-04:00FG: My agapanthus blooms are not very prolific th...FG: My agapanthus blooms are not very prolific this year. I seem have two kinds, one is light blue, and bloomed earlier. The other one is more bright blue, blooms a little late.<br /><br />Meems: Now you mention the winter, I am kind of avoiding thinking about it. Last winter was bad, but I did not have much plants at that time. If this winter also becomes very freezing, I don't know how to handle the hit yet :(Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07744078497819915126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8867788905122040228.post-91574972212389989172010-08-12T22:00:33.524-04:002010-08-12T22:00:33.524-04:00Darla: Actually I always call them "Zinnia&qu...Darla: Actually I always call them "Zinnia" in general, I only learn "narrow leaf zinnia" from your post :) Got to love Zinnias!<br /><br />Rhonda: This is my first time to grow canna lilies. I think I will buy some dwarf ones as well, this type is quite big. I love them, but I can not grow much this size of plants in my garden since my space is limited.Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07744078497819915126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8867788905122040228.post-22171790451270500332010-08-12T20:50:09.083-04:002010-08-12T20:50:09.083-04:00You really have a lot of flowers that hold up to t...You really have a lot of flowers that hold up to the heat well.

This year and last it seems like it took until this month for everything to look normal again after such hard frosts in winter. Love your blooms today... the Agapanthus my favorite... the zinnias really brighten up any spot and your roses of course are always beautiful.<br />MeemsMeemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341998120938921741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8867788905122040228.post-90258628588331136102010-08-12T09:05:21.709-04:002010-08-12T09:05:21.709-04:00Your roses are so beautiful!
