| Jim! Are the flowers on the second picture from the lily vine I sent you? If they are, mine didn't bloom! Omar |

No Omar, this is one that I already had. It's a little different from the one you sent me, in that this one has little hook-like appendages on the ends of the leaves to climb with. The one you sent is growing, but no blooms yet.

| #7 can't be a fuschia, can it??????? |

| Jolana - That Cat Whiskers is lavender. It's not quite as vigorous for me as the white, and a little slower to get started in the spring. Patty - The third picture is Rice Paper tree just fixin to bloom. The fifth is Blue ginger.

| Thank, Yall. Bobbi - Ha!Ha! it IS a fuchsia! I'm always tempted when I see them offered in the spring, but know they won't last past May, so never buy one. So when I saw this little 'Angel's Earrings' in Oct, for $4.50, I decided what the heck. It's hardy to 25deg., if it will last till May, it's worth it.
Kind of pretty, isn't it?

| All your pictures are wonderful. I've viewed them several time, but never stayed long enough to leave a comment. Thank you for growing all those wonderful flowers and sharing them with us! |

| A friend in Alaska was going to send me some fuschias to try the fall after we first moved here, but never did. She said she'd read something once that they only bloom in increasing daylight hours (which wouldn't be true in Alaska after June 21st!). Other than shorter days here, I would think our winters are very similar to Alaskan summers. We certainly grew them in the UK as well. I loved the wild ones you would see over there! |
