I'm trying desperately to grow them in containers here but not with all that much success again this year. Last year was rather good, best ever for Zinnia's.

Your family is blooming as prodigiously as your garden, Jenny. <br /><br />Love the red zinnia - I'm going to look out for these on sale locally. Great pops of unexpected color just when they are needed. And good advice for the skullcap - I finally put in a couple and hadn't really researched what to do with them past where they'd like to be TexasDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214888876514137890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-54220558975413017192014-07-16T06:38:13.434-07:002014-07-16T06:38:13.434-07:00Beautiful flowers this time around.

That's a different type of morning glory than I'm used to seeing. It has beautiful leaves and a lovely shade of blue. Hope you (we) get rain soon.
