Bought this vining flower to plant in the yard, but didn't get around to it yet. It's called Sweet Memory Sky Flower, which I've never heard of before. Found out on the web that it's only cold hardy to 25 degrees, which doesn't bode well for its long term survival, but we'll do what we can with mulch, etc. this winter.
Also bought these annuals, some Mexican heather and some Blue Salvia. None of it is in the ground yet, but they're lined up along the porch looking nice.
Did anyone get a good view of the Perseids on Sunday night? A friend came up for dinner, a little music, and then lying in the back yard looking up. We saw three very impressive meteors before calling it quits a while before midnight. Worth it, but not really the light show we were hoping for.
Cool Thing: a schedule of upcoming meteor showers.

Those flowers are beautiful. I have a soft spot for all purple flowers. After rose colored ranunculus, any kind of purple flowers are my favorite. I wonder if those small ones would grow if I potted them inside my apartment.
Yeah, I'm a sucker for purple flowers. I always go out thinking I'm going to spice it up with some reds or yellows and end up with a cart full of purples to pinks. Dunno about in the apt. Maybe a very sunny window. This container of six little plants was only $1.99 at Lowe's, so it's probably worth a try.
what a pretty little flower...and with the plus of vining, too! Just love the name! I've never seen it around here. K
