The next few days are going to be rough - close to 100 and no rain forecast. I should take a picture of the goldfinches in the blue birdbath for contrast.

Lots going on - great and annoying (stink bugs and vine borers!) Love that salpiglossis. Gorgeous. And that birdbath is really great - looks even better with the matching bluebird enjoying his dip in the pool. I like your one-liners.

Maybe next year. I'm planning to try a packet of mixed colors next year too. But I wonder if there is a difference in heat tolerance between varieties, because I noticed that Annie's Annuals mentioned that Kew Blue will bloom all summer if deadheaded. I might have had beginner's luck in choosing the most heat tolerant one? Ooh, I like that one too. Maybe next year. I’m planning to try a packet of mixed colors next year too.

I should have given them a shot! I just checked the packet and it says that they were packed for 2007. But I *might* just go ahead and try them next year anyway. (By the way, they were Royal/Royale Chocolate: http://www.anniesannuals.com/signs/s/salpiglossis_sinuata_pt.htm) Man… I should have given them a shot!

Starting them wasn't that hard - a lot like petunias. I planned to write a post about them, just because they're said to dislike hot weather and therefore ought not to grow in a Virginia summer.

I think I still have seeds purchased a few years ago that I never started, because I was intimidated by all of the instructions. Did you buy yours, or go through starting them from seed?
