@mosleh: Thank you, Mosleh! Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canadaand we all like to see that beautiful smile. Beautifully framed and captured. Are you making your images smaller now for Aminus? I am using the http://gui.picresize.com/picresize2 site and finding it very helpful. Every since they changed their format I have been uploading pictures that are "too big", so had to find a forum that decreased the size but didn't lose any of the detail in the photo. Hugs, Marion 29 Apr 2008 7:49am @Marion: Thanks for your comment - tell me more about the change in the format here - guess I missed something. tyan from Singapore, Singaporelovely flowers dearie,the sunlight and shades worked wonders here;) 29 Apr 2008 9:21am @tyan: Thank you, Ty ... sunlight helps both flowers and people, but we still need some shade, and also rain. @Ina: Thank you, Ina.

Plumbagos are amazing plants; they bloom forever here and that's good, because we've got a bunch of 'em planted front and back. 29 Apr 2008 2:24pm @Viewfinder: You're just far enough south that you probably have no problem with them over the winter. @Jen: Thank you, Jen. Observing from Chester, United KingdomBeautiful silky blue flowers, I like contrast and shade. 29 Apr 2008 4:29pm @Observing: Thank you ... glad you liked it. @Desparado: Thank you ......... I like your comment on their vibrancy. Chris from South Jersey, United StatesWhat a wonderful shade of blue, and the greens are great also. Wonderful sunny shot!! 29 Apr 2008 7:57pm @Chris: Thank you, Chris ...... it's my favorite blue/green combination. Rabbit from Richmond, United StatesOH - My GOODNESS!!! I love love LOVE LOVE blue flowers! They are my favorite color flower. It does not matter what kind of flower they are as long as they are blue - and none of that fake blue stuff either. Oh these are darling, i don't think they will grow in VA, but i'm going to look them up now. 30 Apr 2008 5:53pm @Rabbit: Thank you, Rabbit ........ they are truly my favorite and if you read some of the other comments, others like the color also. Hardiness: USDA Zones 8B-11. Plumbago can withstand some frosts. Even if killed to the ground, it usually recovers quickly. I'm afraid this doesn't help you. Ours was hit hard by the frosts last winter, but is recovering nicely. Rabbit from Richmond, United Statesdarn <snapping fingers> looks like it needs to be in 8b - - - i live in zone 7b... only a zone away, i suppose i'll just have to look at your flowers and dream. 30 Apr 2008 6:00pm @Rabbit: Yes, DARN ........ <clucking tongue>! @Anita: Thank you, Anita. |
