I’ve always liked the annual Salpiglossis. Great blooms that shine out of the garden. I saw this one at Chicago Botanic Gardens last week and thought I’d share it with you.

    WOW… these are FABULOUS…. I can’t thank you enough for sharing them. I will have to find these at our local shows. They match my garden perfect.

    Gorgeous! I find the older I get, the hotter I like them!!

  3. Cherry Clark says:

    Absolutely stunning! I would love to have some of these for my garden. They would brighten up any space I can find for them.

    @Cherry Clark -

    Yeah, and easy to grow too. You just have to deadhead and prune to keep them growing and in bloom or they’ll run out on you.

    @Bren -

    Or start them from seed yourself – they’re easy to germinate and grow.

    I love this fower but I can’t find any source to buy seeds or plants. Can you let us know a good source for this plant?

    @Frederick Stevens -
    It’s in all the major sources – Thompson & Morgan, Stokes etc. the last time I looked. :-)
